Lichfield Since the idea of a National Memorial Arboretum was conceived in 1998, it was always the intention that it should include a Chapel for Quiet reflection for the individual visitor, and for services to be conducted for groups dedicating trees or plots at the site. This memorial, which is to the Royal Artillery, is a delightful exaple of the many, many memorials around the large acreage of grounds which slope gently down from the car park at the front of the centre, all the way to the banks of the Tame River though the forest of treelets. The nature of the Arboretum and the timing of it's construction meant that the Chapel became linked naturally, both to the desire for peace, and the celebration of the beginning of the third millennium. www.ldb.co.uk /lichfield/arboretum.htm   (205 words)
