War Memorial British Gas Light

The Gas Museum houses exhibitions relating to Fakenham Town itself, including its printing industry, sporting past and wartime stories. Inside is a white marble World War I memorial to 62 men from one gas company.

These names shall remain forever and
their glory shall not be blotted out.

Inscribed on the memorial are surnames and first initials of 62 who died – the majority from Norwich.

The memorial was unveiled in 1925. The plastic-covered paper taped to it with the title "The War Memorials" has the history of the memorial – see the photo of the plaque.
