Newark Christ Church

War Memorial

The First World War memorial is attached to the south wall of the nave at the west end.

It was moved from Christ Church on Lombard Street when the church closed in the late 1950s.

The inscription reads:

1914           OUR GLORIOUS DEAD                1919

TO COMMEMORATE THE SELF-SACRIFICE OF THOSE WHOSE
NAMES ARE INSCRIBED HEREON WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR
