Aviators Memorial

Aviators Memorial is a Portland limestone structure standing at the junction of High Street and Church Road with distinctive architectural details. The building showcases skilled craftsmanship and holds protected status as one of the finest examples of its kind.

The memorial was completed in 1955 to honour aviation innovations connected to Eastchurch. It was designed by architect Sidney Loweth and created by sculptor Hilary Stratton.

This memorial marks Eastchurch's role in early British aviation and shows how the town shaped aircraft development. You can sense this heritage woven into the fabric of the town today.

The memorial sits just south of All Saints Church and is accessible year-round. It provides a quiet spot to pause and learn about local history.

The memorial belongs to a rare group of less than ten percent of all buildings in England to receive the highest protection standards. This classification means it counts among the carefully preserved examples of its era.
