About the memorial: Chapel with plain dedicatory brass plaque placed within it. Framed handwritten biography of Rev. Geoffrey Studdart Kennedy (better known as Woodbine Willie). History of the chapel and furnishings placed within the chapel. It is in the south aisle of the church to the west of the organ and pulpit, and is otherwise known as the Chapel of the Holy Spirit and St Katherine. On the notice and the plaque in the chapel his 2nd forename is clearly spelt as Studdart but in most other sources it is cited as Studdert. My job is to record what is actually there, not what I would like to be there, but also to highlight any factual discrepancies such as this.
