The Cust war memorial was unveiled in 1922 to remember those in the district who served in the First World War. A German field gun once stood on a concrete pad to the east of the plinth. It was removed and used for scrap metal during the Second World War. In 1998 the Howitzer gun was mounted on the old gun site.
