The project at All Saints in Belton to remember the Armistice in 1918 has involved crafting the soldier out of 5,000 poppies.
Most of the poppies have been made of wool and felt and recycled plastic bottles.
Rev Rosie Bunn, rector at All Saints, said: “We only began our poppy tribute two months ago. I was away on holiday for my son’s wedding and read an article about tributes for the centenary and thought we could do that.
“It’s so amazing to finally see the finished product and see people coming from far and wide to view it.”
The poppy “tommy” will be on display on the church tower until Monday 12th November.
