"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
