About the memorial: This wooden funeral bier - used for bearing coffins in and out of the church - was given by the people of Bodenham in memory of villagers who fell in the First World War. It was removed from the church approximately 20 years ago and it is hoped that it will be restored in the coming months and returned to St Michael's once again.
