It is a six sided column rising to circular peak. On each side there is space for six metal plaques containing names and inscription. These were removed at some stage to prevent damage or theft, there current whereabouts are unknown.The information provided is taken from research carried out Joe Hodgson, this is available at the Lancashire Archive Office, Preston.

Signed by the then church warden. sadly St. Jude's has since been demolished, the whereabouts of the Roll of Honour is not known.
