Today I travelled to Godalming and Farncombe in my home county of Surrey in S.E. England. In particular I visited the Jack Phillips Memorial Gardens and Cloister in Godalming, and the nearby village of Farncombe.
The memorial at Godalming is the largest in the world to a single Titanic victim. Jack grew up in Godalming and sang in the choir of St John's church in Farncombe.
Several websites contain photographs, illustrations and written descriptions relating to the various memorials, eg:

www.godalming-museum.org.uk/jack_grave.html
www.godalming-museum.org.uk/jack_history.html
www.godalming-museum.org.uk/cloister_out.html
www.godalming-museum.org.uk/cloister_in.html
www.godalming-museum.org.uk/titanic.html
www.godalming.org.uk/Titanic.html
They are all worth reading, and the actual sites well worth visiting if practical to do so.
