The Garden of Remembrance was built to commemorate the residents of Altrincham who served in the armed forces during the First World War. It was later extended to honour those who served in Second. It is situated opposite St. Margaret's Church, and serves as a gentile place for reflection and a meeting place for memorial services. The memorial cross at the centre od the gardens was designed by George Faulkner Armitage, who presided as Mayor of Altrincham during the First World War.
