ST MARGARET WAR MEMORIAL
World
War 1 - Detailed Information
Compiled and Copyright © Eric Kirby 2005
The
St Margaret Memorial will hopefully soon be refurbished; currently
there are 9 names listed (these are marked M). As well as the memorial
there is also a plaque inside the church listing the above fallen
of WW1 - note that Leonard J L Crane is not listed on the internal
plaque for some unknown reason. This also list those names commemorated
on the St Mary Memorial; those on the plaque are marked P. A second
plaque recording two casualties of WW2 from the Parish is also inside
the church.
