War Memorial

Only ten days after the end of the 1914-1918 war a meeting was called to consider a proposal to consider the funding for a memorial to those who lost their life.

The form the memorial should take was also discussed. The vicar favoured a mosaic pavement for the chancel and new choir stalls. At the following meeting it was suggested that two stained glass lights should be installed, one in the chancel, depicting 'Faith' and in the sanctuary, depicting 'Hope'. This proposal was agreed on March 20th 1919.

The windows were designed and manufactured by Alexander Gascoyne, who had works on Shakespeare Street within the parish of Holy Trinity (for details of the text etc. see Glass) They were unveiled and dedicated by the Bishop of Hereford on September 12th. 1920,

A decorative oak panel bearing ninety-two names was also erected on the east wall of the nave close to the chancel arch.  Prior to demolition it was removed to the new Holy Trinity, Clifton. It was never installed within the main part of its new home but re-erected on the wall in the church boiler house where in 2013 it remains in good condition, but unseen.

A welcome home party was organised for those who survived and returned home. Invitations were sent to 340 servicemen and 129 accepted.

This tablet and the window
in the chancel was erected to the
Glory of God and in ever grateful memory of those
connected with Holy Trinity Church and its parish
who fell In the Great War 1914-1918
