You can still add photographs, update condition and use the tabs below. If you believe any of the information you cannot edit is wrong or information is missing, please make a note of the reference number and include it in your email when you contact us.

  • Metal Metal (any)

About the memorial: A peal of bells in the church tower with dedication appearing on a plaque outside the church. The plaque carries 77 names. The original metal plaque (IWM WMR45331 see links) was replaced with a marble one (IWM WMR77463 see links). The original may have been relocated to The Squirrel Inn and we are requesting photographs. It would remain associated with this record because it is the same memorial, we would not create a second record for what is in effect the same memorial, but we will note the details of the second site once confirmed.
