Unfortunately there is quite a list of soldiers from the area who gave their all for their Country.

The World War One Honour Roll is set into the north face of the Memorial Clock Tower, and reads:

The date of the 'unveiling' of the Memorial Clock Tower is taken from the Blue Plaque, which is inside the arched door on the south side of the Clock Tower. ["The memorial clock tower was built by John and Norman Icely, David and Mr Butler (Arch.) and unveiled on 29th December 1929 as part of the 'Back to Bright' festivities."]
