New site must again be found for Little Oakley's war memorial.

For many years, the memorial stood in the grounds of the parish church but after St Mary's closed it was moved to the Methodist church more than 25 years ago

Now the Methodist church is to close later this year and the site sold, leaving a village of just under 1,000 adults without any place of worship within its boundaries.

The memorial is owned by the parish council, which must look for a new site.
