This beautiful poppy tribute to three soldiers who died in WW1 has been created by villagers who discovered there was no memorial for them. Locals spent four years building a cascade of over 5,000 hand-made flowers flowing from the tower, window and door of St Peter’s Church.
The touching project also features a soldier lying in a large hand surrounded by poppies inside the church in Dowland in Devon. It all honours Arthur Piper, 21, his brother William Piper 28, and George Westcott, 21.
Locals set to work after they realised there was no memorial for the three soldiers from the village who died in The Great War.
