Sixpenny Handley War Memorial
Sixpenny Handley War Memorial was erected in 1920. It was built by voluntary labour of Ham Hill stone. The cost was paid for by the village. Subscriptions were collected from the villagers including most of those families who had lost someone. There was also a collection in the school. The total cost was £240. On 6 January at a meeting of the Parish Council it was suggested that a public meeting was called 'to consider the question of a memorial to those men of the parish who have fallen in the Great War'. The public meeting was held on 20 January 1919 at 7pm in the Council School. A committee was set up chaired by Lieut Col H A Cartwright. Other members were Mrs Cartwright, Miss E Adams, Rev E E Hasluck, Messrs F Adams, E Crocker, C Day, J Jesse and F White. C H Green of Blandford was chosen to construct the memorial. This company had also carried out works to construct a lodge at Kingston Lacy and works at Ashmore. In the War Memorial Accounts held at Dorset History Centr
