"A triptych memorial is set on the north transept wall of St George’s Chapel listing 200 local men killed in the First World War. It is constructed of oak with a castellated cornice. An illuminated border, predominantly of red and blue, surrounds the lists of names. The glass which covers the sheets has preserved them well. A wreath of poppies permanently hangs over the memorial.

At the top of the central section is the inscription:

REMEMBER   BEFORE GOD
THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO   FELL IN THE GREAT WAR·1914–1918
THE LORD OF PEACE HIMSELF   GIVE YOU PEACE·2·THESS·3·16

The names on the memorial are recorded HERE

The memorial was designed by Mr C G Hare and produced at a cost of £35. It was dedicated on 11th November 1927. At the West end of the church there is a small framed hand-written memorial listing about 30 names, most of which appear on the main memorial. The two exceptions being:

Major Ion Barry George Royal Irish Rifles Aged 36 Killed 05/05/1918
Frederick Ralph George No details located"
