There
are two memorials, one for the village and the other for the church.
The
village memorial stands on a triangle in the centre of the junction
of St Thomas’s Road and Hitchin Road, Stopsley, and takes the form of
a memorial that is capped by a three dimensional Fleur-de-Lis on a square
base surrounded by railings. There are 24 names listed for World War
1.
St
Thomas's Church, Stopsley contains the First World War Memorial on the
wall of the church and there is a dedicated three panelled, stained
and painted glass window with three small top lights. The left hand
window depicts St. Nicholas; the centre window is of Christ crucified;
the right hand window shows St. Alban. The associated plaque is rectangular,
brass, plate with borders of red tramlines, on a wooden board. All is
secured to the wall by imitation bolts with the inscription in old English
lettering in red and black. The Second World War memorial is in the
form of a Book of Remembrance within a rectangular, glass fronted, oak
case, containing a leather-bound book open to the centre pages. The
case is on a window ledge, just below the pulpit. The window above this
book is leaded, two-panelled clear glass.

UNVEILING
OF STOPSLEY WAR MEMORIAL
SPECIALLY
CONTRIBUTED
Stopsley’s
War Memorial was unveiled on Easter Sunday afternoon. The officiating
clergy were the Revd. Arthur S. Wolliscroft, G. Roberts Hern, and E.T.
Leslie, Vicar, representing the Wesleyan Mission Church, the Baptist
Church and the Church of England respectively. The service opened with
the singing of “O God our help in ages past,” followed by
a prayer offered by the Rev. Arthur S. Wooliscroft. The lesson 1 Thess.,
iv., 13-18 was read by the Rev. G. Robert’s Hern, and after the
lesson the hymn “Through the night of doubt and sorrow,”
was rendered by a deeply sympathetic gathering. Mr. Benjamin Hartop
then unveiled the memorial. The function having been performed, Mr.
Hartop said it was a great honour for him to be asked to unveil this
memorial, erected to perpetuate the memory of 24 men who went to serve
their King and country, and laid down their lives for the cause. He
sympathised with the friends and relatives who had lost loved ones who
left home to fight a powerful and unscrupulous enemy, and he exhorted
all to follow the example of those whose sacrifice they were memorialising,
and work together.
There followed the Lord’s Prayer and the prayer for The Departed,
immediately followed by the Dedication by the Vicar of Stopsley, after
which relatives placed wreaths upon the base of the structure. In a
moving address, the Vicar said passers-by would know on seeing the memorial
that Stopsley had offered her quota on the altar of sacrifice. The memorial
stands near the green, where these men played as boys, it stands near
the school where their characters were moulded, and it stands near the
places of worship where they received religious instruction. He congratulated
the Council and the Committee on the spirit of brotherhood which had
existed among their members, and impressively stated that both the church
memorial and the village memorial were totally inadequate to express
the gratitude to those who had given up home and relatives for military
service. Those men who slept in dug-outs, stood in water, been upon
the parapets, never daring to sleep, never knowing when death might
come to them, those who had been in No Man’s Land, exposed to
machine gun fire, to the barrage, and in bayonet charges, had faced
a hundred deaths each day, enduring all for us. The supreme sacrifice
was at last made for the freedom of Europe, and for civilisation, and
he hoped their names would be inscribed in the schoolroom for the future
generations to see. God grant, he fervently exclaimed, that these were
the last of these memorials. He hoped that the future generations would
gaze upon the memorial and say “What mean ye by these stones!”
and the answer would be that they were Sons of the Empire, who, with
the Spirit of St. George, went out to battle with the hideous monster
– War, who put international service before national ambition.
“Greater love hath no man than he that laid down his life for
his friend,” he quoted.
The hymn, “Let Saints on earth in concert sing,” was afterwards
rendered by the deeply impressed assembly, and a prayer then offered
up for sorrowing relatives by the Rev. Leslie, who immediately pronounced
the Blessing, after which, above the death-like silence of the gathering,
rang the notes – clear and faultless – of the Last Post.
The weather was very unsettled, rain falling during the service, but
through the rain shone the sun, in the sky appeared the rain-bow, How
it all fitted in. Smiles through tears, hope of Life Eternal after the
Life is over. The rain-bow was placed as a sign of life in the sky.
Many a heart was heavy, many a home was sad, but above it all shines
the promise of a land where sorrows are unknown.
