Compiled and copyright © Dave Edwards 2003

This memorial is a stone plaque in the chancel of the All Saints Church, Church Road, Grafham. It was dedicated in 1920 by local clergy and dignitaries. It takes the form of seating in the chancel and a dedicatory tablet with a triangular pediment and two supporting corbels with a gilt latin cross above with the letters in three columns in black lettering. There are three names listed of those who gave their lives and sixteen others who served and returned. There is a framed scroll to one man who died in World War 2 and a further family memorial to one man.

This chancel was re-seated to the glory of God
and in thankful remembrance of men of this parish
who took part in the Great War 1914 – 1919
