During WW1 many past members fought in the war. 95 soldiers were killed and their names are recorded on cross stitch samplers displayed in the youth club. A new garden memorial was dedicated on Remembrance Sunday 13th November 2016. a major feature of the garden is a wooden structure topped with sand bags representing the trenches. The square structure is 3m x 3m by 1.2m high topped with 15 roses and one standard rose accompanied by artificial poppies. On one side of the structure is a bronze plate with the dedication to those soldiers who lost their lives. On the other three sides are records of individual soldiers giving details of where they died and how they died together with information to parents.
