We visited in October 2020 and fortunately it was a sunny day, so the outdoor experience was a pleasure exploring the wide range of memorial gardens in peace and tranquility. Covid 19 restrictions were in place, so you needed to book to eat in the restaurant, fortunately we were able to get an "on the spot booking". Coffee shop limited to two groups at any one time, so pace was a little slow. Food and drinks in both places were excellent quality - local Burton Brewery Ales available in the restaurant. I was surprised to be told that all the memorials were not in the guide book. There were 370 on the day we visited - the guide book said 330 - so new additions are plentiful. I was pleasantly surprised at the wide range of memorials in addition to the Armed Services Memorial which is particularly poignant with 16,000 lives lost sine the end of WWII. For example the loss of 250 Falkland Islanders in addition to the 237 armed services personnel was an education to me. I'm sure you will learn something new if you visit.

It a statue of Sir Robert Peel, a local textile magnate from Fazeley who was MP for the town and established the modern Police Force. It is from his names that we get the slang words 'Bobbies' and 'Peelers' for police officers.

This is a really beautiful statue within the market place, well worth checking out. It can be easily overlooked on market days.
