On Saturday 27th June 2026, the Mayor of Sherborne, Cllr Suresh Jeganathan was joined by members of the Royal British Legion which included the Chairman of the Sherborne & District branch, David Bows, along with others from the branch and Sir Andrew Graham, Dorset County President of the Royal British Legion, for the dedication of a new war memorial, situated on the Abbey Green.

Reverend Martin Lee lead the dedication with a prayer and blessing of the bench.

Steve Shield, Sherborne Town Clerk said, “This new all forces memorial bench is a simple but powerful way for Sherborne to say thank you to all who have served. It means a great deal to us to work so closely with the Royal British Legion Sherborne & District Branch, and we hope this spot becomes a special place for quiet reflection and remembrance at the heart of our town”.

A big thank you to everyone that came along for the dedication and to the Sherborne Town Council Grounds Team who prepared the area ready for the bench to be permanently situated.
