Sarah Watkins, the church organist, also collapsed and died of heart failure on the way to the crash scene.

Llangrove Cottage was bought by the Reverend John Jones who added a large room which was used for public worship and it became known as the Langrove Congregational Church.

The village consists of a number of old cottages, small farmhouses, bungalows and modern housing; much of the building has taken place in the last few years.

It is listed at Grade II for the following two principal reasons, firstly historic interest as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact on the local community of the events of the First World War, secondly for architectural interest since the memorial is a dignified and sombre Celtic-style cross, neatly made and well-proportioned.

[10] The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England.

One such memorial was raised at Llangrove as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by the members of the local community who lost their lives in the First World War.

The memorial stands in a prominent roadside location in front of the primary school and a short distance from Christ Church (Grade II).
