About the memorial: St James' Church was founded in 1899 but closed around 1975 and demolished by 1979 with the area reforested since. The memorial was an oval tablet with a laurel border. It was apparently moved to the Church of St Bartholomew in Clay Cross but at some point the border was seriously damaged. In 2013 the Clay Cross Church was searched but the memorial could not be found and must be presumed lost. In Autumn, 1949 the name of Flight Sergeant Harvey Nutt Unwin (the sole WW2 casualty) was added to the tablet. The WW1 names are unknown.
