Holy Trinity Church, Church Charwelton, was built in the C14th and C15th and had its chancel rebuilt in the C17th and C18th. The church was restored, and the chancel was again rebuilt and extended one bay east in 1901-1904, by G. Christopher Carter. It is of ironstone ashlar and coursed ironstone rubble. It has the typical chancel, nave, north and south aisles, south porch, and west tower but with a north chancel chapel added which is now used a a vestry.
This memorial is a simple slab of marble affixed to the north wall of the north aisle. There are only two names recorded.
The inscription reads:
+
TO THE GLORY OF GOD,
AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF
WILLIAM SPENCER.
S.W.BORDERERS,
+ JULY 1. 1916.
AND OF
WILLIAM BURBIDGE. R.M.L.I.,
+ SEPT.2. 1918.
BOTH OF THIS PARISH,
WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR.
" . . FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH."
