Perhaps this is the most unusual war memorial in our book 'To Our Brothers' War Memorials in British Schools. It comes from Leighton Park School who are a Quaker foundation. They were unable to use religious or militaristic imagery so they commissioned this remarkable sundial.

On #HolocaustMemorialDay Sishubari LP School is encouraging us to #LightTheDarkness. School did indeed provide a place of light & safety for Jewish refugee boys from Nazi Europe.
