The little town of Thame in Oxfordshire has had an inspiration. Its war memorial, like that of many places, is in the form of a large cross on a plinth. It is placed in a semi-circle of laurels and roses, with a bed of lavender in front, and the trees of a garden make a charming background. Now Thame has introduced a box hidden in the lavender from which at night a light shines on the uppe” half of the cross. The cross stands out white and appealing against the beauty of the trees.
