Memorial Description
Two framed Rolls of Honour, identical pre-printed forms in classical style, with the royal crest at the top. Down each side are two columns bearing flowers, top to bottom, daffodil, shamrock, thistle and rose, with an inward facing lion sat at the feet, and surmounted by wreaths with flags behind. The plinth bears two wreaths each containing a shield. Between them are two beasts (fish? dragons?) and at centre is a panel, undecipherable from the photograph. The names are listed in two columns on each, all handwritten. Those killed in action are identified by a cross; those who died of wounds are identified by an asterisk; those who died in hospital have a double tick beside their name; those wounded have a circle; prisoners of war have an oblique by their name.

Notes
1. The main war memorial window was unveiled on 1st-2nd June 1922. The whole church had been refurbished and rededicated that weekend. It seems therefore safe to assume that these Rolls of Honour were dedicated at the same time.
2. When the Methodists moved out of the church, in 1979 everything inside was stripped out, including the ROH's.
