War Memorial - Mapperton, Dorset, England

The small parish of Mapperton is unusual in that it is just the Mapperton estate which, with the beautiful, historic Manor House at its centre, consists of the old Rectory, some farms and a few cottages and houses. The panels are situated inside of the church.
