BULMER WAR MEMORIAL

World War 1 & 2 - Roll of Honour with detailed information
Compiled and copyright © Martin Edwards 2014

This Memorial stands in the grounds of the St Andrew's Church, Bulmer, Essex. It takes the form of a tall, very plain, Latin cross on a cruciform platform. There are 18 names listed for World War 1 and 4 for World War 2. The memorial was deemed as listing in 1994 but since then it seems it is no longer listing and has ben cleaned up. In the church is also a hand lettered, glazed and framed Roll of Honour. It does not appear that all the names on the memorial are included on the Rollf of Honour; those that are are highlighted and are marked with a poppy on the Roll of Honour.
