"William 'Strata' Smith was born in Churchill, Oxfordshire on 23 March 1769. He died in Northamptonshire on 28 August 1839.  Smith was an English geologist, credited with creating the first detailed, nationwide geological map of any country. At the time his map was first published he was overlooked by the scientific community; his relatively humble education and family connections prevented him from mixing easily in learned society. Financially ruined, Smith spent time in debtors' prison. It was only late in his life that Smith received recognition for his accomplishments, and became known as the "Father of English Geology" Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Smith_(geologist) Further info can be found here; https://www.churchillheritage.org.uk/famous-sons/william-smith

In the middle of a small green area within the village, a cross rises atop a tall stone shaft. However, as hikers notice upon approach, this is by no means a small sacred monument in the sense of the wayside crosses common in some regions. Rather, this monument, like those found in many villages, is dedicated to the memory of the victims of war and tyranny.
