About the memorial: In 1920 a reredos and a roll of honour panel were erected in memory of the men from this parish who lost their lives in WW1. The roll of honour panel held 62 names. They were made of oak with intricate carved tracery in the style of gothic windows and columns. During the period that the church was closed (1971-2010) both parts of the war memorial were stolen. In 2012 a single piece of the roll of honour panel was found in Leicestershire and returned to Liverpool. Although very little of the memorial survives, a local history research project has gathered a lot of information about the men commemorated on the roll of honour (see links tab below) There are plans to have the rest of the memorial recreated and reinstated in the church (reopened as St James in the City)
