A bronze plaque near a group of trees planted in 1946 in Bradgate Park to commemorate Rural Britain's achievement in the Red Cross Agriculture Fund during WWII.
The plaque reads:
THESE TREES
were planted in 1946 to commemorate Rural Britain's
achievement in raising nearly £9,000,000 for the
service of the RED CROSS AGRICULTURE FUND
during the World War 1939 - 1945. Of this amount the
County of LEICESTERSHIRE subscribed

Through God's good grace, through strength of English Oak
We have preserved our faith, our throne, our land.
Now with our freedom saved from tyrant's yoke
We plant these trees. Remember why they stand.
