Comments:
The Original school at the West End of the Village was replaced by a new Secondary School at the East End in 1932-1933, and the Roll of Honour is known to have been moved there. In turn that building has been replaced, on the same site as the 1932 School. The Roll of Honour is not in the Current School. There is an unproven story that it was placed, with other articles, in a Time Capsule. Even if it is there, it is inaccesible, until some future date when, hopefully, the Time Capsule is found and opened. So effectively that would render it lost. Really that story feels more like wishful thinking than fact.
