Colonel
Leather, on behalf of 4th D.L.I. presented a beautiful carved oak sanctuary chair to the church. It had been designed by Mr. W.H. Wood, F.R.I.B.A. It was given in remembrance of free use of the church on Sundays for their parade services and the warm welcome they received.
A collection at the service amounting to £4 16s 3d was donated to the war memorial fund.
