The
War Memorial is on the left of the path when walking down towards the
church from the church gate. Sadly the inscriptions are badly worn,
so the Parish Council many years ago had the names transcribed on to
a brass plaque and put in church on the north wall to commemorate those
men from the village who died in the first and second world wars. Details
on the memorial contain forename, surname and rank.
TO
THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE OF THE MEN OF THIS
