Baker-Cresswell Hatchment in Bamburgh Church
A hatchment placed in St.Aidan's Church in 2011 has the coat of arms of Captain Addison Joe Baker-Cresswell, DSO., RN. At centre bottom is depicted the D.S.O. insignia.

The newly published booklet Hatchments at St.Aidan's Church, An Illustrated Guide, price £2, tells the story.

Captain Baker-Cresswell's involvement in capturing the Enigma code material happened in 1942. The famous H.M.S. Petard incident in which a machine was captured happened in 1941.

The Northumberland Gazette 29/04/2013 reports the unveiling.
