Notes

1. The Roll of Honour was in poor condition when rediscovered after a search prompted by this survey. Its restoration was paid for by the donation of £600 from the Mayor of North Tyneside’s Well Being Fund.

2. A new community hall was built in the village. The Roll of Honour was removed there so that it can be seen by more people.
