About the memorial: Bronze panels set in an oak framework. The centre panel was the dedicatory panel, the text being surmounted by laurel wreaths and the figure of peace. This was flanked by two side panels, the left hand panel containing casualties with surnames A to L, the right hand panel those with surnames L to W. The Church closed for worship in 1981, after the Presbyterian and Congregational Churches became the United Reformed Church. It then remained empty and derelict until the opening years of the 21st century when it was demolished for town centre redevelopment. The War Memorial is not in the town museum (they have specifically checked their collections for it), nor at the United Church (as the United Reformed Church is now known, after unification with the Methodist Church), or at the town’s repository for surplus War Memorials- St. Michael’s Church. It must therefore be presumed lost, it could have disappeared anytime after 1981, or in the final demolition.
