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 was added to the internal plaque
at a later date (2008). 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.
