On the front left wall of our nave is a memorial to all of the local heroes who sadly fell fighting for our country during the two world wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our secretary has been researching them all, their family background, in which battle they fell and where they were laid to rest. She has nearly finished creating a book, (just 4 more to add) which is on display on a table below the plaques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
