The Todmorden Garden of Remembrance

The memorial to the fallen Todmorden soldiers of the First World War is in the Garden of Remembrance in Centre Vale Park, Todmorden. The park is the former home of the Fielden family, local philanthropists and business people.

Todmorden Garden of Remembrance

These are they who being peaceable citizens of Todmorden at the call of King and country and in defence of their native land left all that was dear to them, endured hardship, faced danger and finally passed out of the sight of man by the path of duty and self sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom.Their name liveth for evermore.

There are 4 Hileys/Highleys commemorated on the memorial: Ernest Jackson Highley, John Henry Highley, Charles William Highley (all brothers), and Harold Hiley. The name of Charles Highley on the 2nd plaque is a mistake.

       
Also commemorated are a number of other men with Hiley connections.
