  • Description

    "Inside the gateway, a plaque reads 'This lychgate is erected to commemorate the men of this parish who, at the call of King & country, left all that was dear to them, endured hardness, faced danger and eventually passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and self sacrifice, giving up their own lives that other s might live in freedom. 1914 -1918'. Twelve men are recorded - RWM Close, JR Hind, C Barry, C Butler, L Clark, B Hind, CN Hind, J Jackson, W Jackson, C Patrick, JW Stockdale and T Thompson.
