About the memorial: The memorial is within the Methodist Church in Poole High Street. The memorial was first seen in 2008 when the future of the church was being considered. The church was closed in December 2012 for safety reasons and pending decisions on its future development. It has now been refurbished as a social/religious/medical centre named "The Spire". The former nave of the church is now a cafe, known as Wesley's Cafe. The memorial has been moved from its original location in the nave and can be found in a small chapel approached through a door in the far left corner of the cafe. There is a sign showing the way. The memorial is on the window wall of the chapel. Several other Methodist churches in Poole have closed in the last few decades but there is no sign of any memorials from them having been moved here.
