War Memorial

You may have read a couple of months ago in the magazine that there are no names on our war memorial for those who died during the Second World War. Well, there is good news. A typed list of 24 names has been found tucked into the parish magazines from 1946. It was probably produced for the very first Remembrance Day after the war and then tucked away and forgotten for 65 years. We plan to create something that we can hang alongside the existing memorial in time for this year's Remembrance Day. We are also looking into whether any women died during the First World War who served in the Royal Nursing Auxiliaries. If so then they will be added as well.
