Description: Board/Plaque/ Tablet

  • Metal Brass
Lettering: Inscribed on a plaque

About the memorial: Brass plaque. The plaque is on the west wall of the north transept. Above is a plaque to his father who was "murdered by savages" while working as a Missionary in Africa. As such it could be recorded as a war memorial in it's own right (under 'Terrorist Acts'). However, after some deliberation a personal decision was made not to do so, quite a fine decision, partly influenced by the language on the plaque, which fitted the Victorian view of the world (even in the Christian Church) but is uncomfortable in the 21st century. This note is made here as an explanatory observation.
