Indoor War Memorial
A triptych memorial is set on the north transept wall of St George’s
Chapel listing 200 local men killed in the First World War. It is constructed
of oak with a castellated cornice. An illuminated border, predominantly of
red and blue, surrounds the lists of names. The glass which covers the sheets
has preserved them well. A wreath of poppies permanently hangs over the memorial.
At the top of the central section is the inscription:
| REMEMBER |
|
BEFORE GOD |
| THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO |
|
FELL IN THE GREAT WAR·1914–1918 |
| THE LORD OF PEACE HIMSELF |
|
GIVE YOU PEACE·2·THESS·3·16 |

The memorial was designed by Mr C G Hare and produced at a cost of £35.
It was dedicated on 11th November 1927. At the West end of the church there
is a small framed hand-written memorial listing about 30 names, most of which
appear on the main memorial. The two exceptions being:
Major Ion Barry George Royal Irish Rifles Aged 36 Killed
05/05/1918
Frederick Ralph George No details located

Memorial in the Churchyard
A large Calvary, also dedicated to those killed in the Great War, is sited
in the churchyard by the side of the main path from the gate to the West door.
(This path is shown on several old maps as a public footpath). Mr Hare
also designed this monument. The crucifix is of oak, mounted on a stone base,
which is elevated on two substantial plinths. On the base the three bronze
plates which originally recorded the official opening, recently became detached,
but are in safe custody awaiting the outcome of a funding application for the
renovation of the entire monument. A pitched canopy of oak, rising from its
horizontal to the vertical, protects the cross. On the facia of the oak canopy
is a carved inscription:
Father Dalrymple unveiled the Calvary on May 20th 1920 in the presence of
ten other clergy. The cost was £350.
