As part of the 2014 project, additional research was carried out on the war memorials of the villages that surround Storrington: Amberley, Ashington, Bury, Greatham, Parham, Sullington, Thakeham, Washington and West Chiltington.
Books are on display at Storrington Library.
Remembrance Books were created from the research and presented to the local parishes. Here are some of the presentations:

still around after the service and listened with interest to the
