WW1 MEMORIAL
World War
1 - Detailed information
Compiled and Copyright © Lyndon Wigmore 2008
This
tiny parish does not appear to have a separate memorial, only the
Roll of Honour in the parish church. There are five names recorded,
all from the First World War. Anyone wishing to visit the church when
it is locked, can get the key from the barman at the pub which is
alongside the church.
