About the memorial: Free standing wooden frame in the style of a classical portico. Inscription in red and black ink. The IWM Register places this memorial in this church but I was unable to locate it in a visit in October 2020. This may well have been because large sections of the church were taped off as part of COVIV-19 restrictions, so another visit when things are back to normal would be useful.
