Roll of Honour
|
It is a great privilege to have the village war memorial in the graveyard, commemorating those who fell in the both world wars defending our country, and reminding us of others who have fallen in violent conflict. They are all known by God - may they rest in peace and rise in glory. This Roll of Honour, researched by Ron Gibson, is published with his kind permission.
