November 2025 Picture of the Month

One of the last pictures taken for mt Cast-metal Signs book is a fitting image for this month of remembrance. The Devizes and Roundway War Memorial stands adjacent to to beautiful 12th century St. John's Church near Devizes town centre. The memorial was designed by the celebrated architect Francis William Troup, and constructed in 1920-21. The six bronze plaques commemmorating the fallen from the Great War were cast by Humphreys & Oakes at their foundry in Fishponds, Bristol. The six smaler plaques commemmorate the falled from World War II. The photograph was taken at the end of October, and in the many years I have been posting a 'Picture of the Month' on this website, ths is the first time I have used an image taken on my phone rather than my camera.   iPhone 14
