Plumpton Green is a small village in Sussex. All Saints Church was built in 1893. The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England. This was the result of both the huge impact on communities of the loss of three quarters of a million British lives, and also the official policy of not repatriating the dead which meant that the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss. One such memorial was raised at Plumpton Green in 1920, as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by the members of the local community who lost their lives in the First World War. It is Grade ll protected.
