Excellent, that’s just the sort of memorial we are looking for. It’s not in a prominent position and I can’t find anything on the internet about it. Shame about the muddy footprints though.

It's quite a modern memorial. I wonder if it replaced an older memorial? Perhaps it was given by John Gillin's family?
