About the memorial: A paper roll of honour, originally framed and glazed. The commercially printed sheet has a title at the head in gold upright sentence case gothic lettering on a yellow ribbon, and below is an array of flags of 10 of the allied nations, all in full colour. Below that is the printed dedication, extended in handwritten black ink and the names, also handwritten. Four names in the right column extend below the level of those in the left column, and when mounted in the church these were obscured by a footer strip cut from the roll and bearing further text on a yellow ribbon. When subsequently deposited with the record office this footer strip seems to have been omitted, leaving all of the names visible. When displayed in the church the roll was mounted in a moulded oaken frame. In 1932 The Primitive Methodist Church movement joined with the Wesleyan Methodists and the United Methodists and became known as The Methodist Church. In 2012 the roll was removed from display in the church and deposited with Derbyshire Record Office where it is document reference D4300. There is a Computer printed copy in the Church and also a Computer printed Book of Remembrance with biographies for each man in the Church- neither are regarded as separate records in their own right.
