Story

Wilbraham Oates Lennox served with the Royal Engineers at Sevastopol during the Crimean War where he was awarded the Victoria Cross. He is buried in a family plot in Brighton that has become derelict and neglected over the years.

The entire family plot now requires professional restoration and work to stop further damage from tree growth. We will restore all stonework within the family plot and the surrounding fence. This is one of the most extensive and costly projects we have undertaken, but we believe it is worth saving and protecting for future generations.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

About the charity

The Victoria Cross Trust cleans and maintains the graves of the recipients of the highest award for Valour - The VC - that are not looked after by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. We also ensure that their memories are maintained through educating the public in a variety of different media. Through our network of veterans, to whom we provide support and activities to keep them active and fulfilled, and a network of volunteers we ensure that the 'graves of the brave' are not forgotten. Our charity is small but with a big name and we ensure that our donations are focused directly on our charitable aims and respecting the highest award for Valour - The Victoria Cross.
