The portion of vestibule facing the main entrance door is laid out in three panels, set between miniature Corinthian columns, fluted and with carved capitals matching those the church itself. In these panels are inserted brass plates containing the names the members of the congregation who served in the war. Above these columns the entablature runs all round the vestibule. On the centre tablet are inscribed the names of the members the congregation who made the supreme sacrifice" 1956 - Memorial to men who made the Supreme Sacrifice in two world wars so presumably an addition to the WW1 memorial.
