Bodiham preached on 1 Kings vi. 18: "And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops" a sermon of immediately local interest. For the past two years the problem of the War Memorial had exercised the minds of all those in Crome who had enough leisure, or mental energy, or party spirit to think of such things.
