EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print from 1947, we are presented with the Masefield Memorial Stone at Stopham. The stone stands as a solemn tribute to William Beech Masefield, a former Chaplain in the Royal Navy and rector of the parish of Stopham and Hardham. Tragically, his life was cut short by enemy action on October 4th, 1940. The memorial stone is adorned with a plaque that reads "Near this spot" serving as a reminder of the exact location where Masefield's untimely demise occurred. This somber inscription evokes feelings of respect and remembrance for his sacrifice. Captured within George Garland's collection, this photograph serves as an important historical artifact held at West Sussex Record Office. It allows us to reflect upon the bravery and dedication displayed by individuals like Masefield during times of war. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of the devastating impact that conflict can have but also of the resilience shown by those who serve their country selflessly. The presence of this memorial stone ensures that Masefield's memory lives on in perpetuity – a lasting testament to his service both as a clergyman and member of the Royal Navy
