A MID-Powys war memorial will be officially unveiled at a ceremony next week after it was repaired as part of a project commemorating the centenary of the First World War.
The official unveiling of the repaired Roll of Honor (sic) for Builth Wells, Salem and Cefn-y-Bedd will take place on Wednesday November 30 at the Strand Hall, Builth Wells.
The memorial is the first to be repaired thanks to financial support from the Powys War Memorials Project and the Builth Wells Heritage Society.
The Roll, which was repaired by specialist paper conservator Graeme Storey of Britton and Storey Art Conservation, has also been reframed at part of the work. The cost of the work was approximately £1,500.
Cllr Avril York, Powys County Council’s cabinet member for regeneration and planning, said: "The Powys War Memorials Project marks our respect for those individuals who left Powys, sacrificing their lives.
"I’m delighted that the Roll of Honor has been repaired thanks to funding from the Powys War Memorials Project and Builth Wells Heritage Society.
"War memorials form an integral part of our towns, villages and communities and provide a focal point for remembrance and it is important that we protect them for future generations."
The Powys War Memorials Project, which is being led by Powys County Council and commemorates the centenary of the First World War, has been funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Cadw and the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority.
There are many elements to the project including identifying, recording and mapping all the war memorials in Powys and encouraging and enabling local communities to carry out research about the men and women named on war memorials.
The project has also been supporting local communities to apply for project funding for a rolling programme of repairs and restoration to war memorials and their immediate surroundings.
