Although their origins often date back more than a century – many were erected after the First World War (1914 to 1918) – they are by no means merely relics of a bygone era. The message of the almost ubiquitous "war memorials," which still commemorate the victims of war and tyranny in villages and towns, remains relevant. The specific design of the monuments varies from place to place, despite certain similar basic patterns. But they all share the urgent appeal to remind us – anew each generation – of the necessity of preserving peace.

However, such a war memorial, which one often encounters on the road, regardless of nationality, language and name, is always a testimony - still significant and relevant today - to the horror of war and tyranny. They all have two essential functions, and this is renewed for each generation: -1- Commemorate and remember the victims -2- Remind people to keep the peace

The Finchampstead War Memorial is this white stone cross featuring a sword on the front. Although inaugurated in 1920, it was recently relocated to this place next to Memorial Park because its previous location was somewhat dangerous and challenging to visit. It is a Grade II-listed landmark.

In this church, you can primarily distinguish two parts: the massive brick tower and the rest of the nave. While the tower dates back to the early 18th century, the older portions of the rest of the church date back to the 12th century.

This lake, located next to California Country Park, offers a peaceful trail that surrounds it, allowing you to enjoy beautiful views of the lake and the wildlife that resides in it. It's a lake that was excavated in the 19th century for brickmaking purposes.

Although the building you see dates back to 1860, it is not the original one, as a medieval guildhall stood on this site from 1612. This guildhall was demolished to construct the current building due to the significant industrial growth that Wokingham experienced in the mid-19th century. It currently houses the Wokingham Town Council and is designated as a Grade II listed building. You can find a Wokingham Society Historic Blue Plaque here.

This is the only Grade I Listed Building in Wokingham. Founded in 1663, it was in operation until 2001 when it was put up for sale and subsequently sold to a private buyer. You can find a Wokingham Society Historic Blue Plaque here.
