Notes
1. Several Methodist churches were united into the Northlands Methodist Church and the memorials were transferred there.
2 “After the 1914-18 War, the (Greenbank Rd. Methodist) Memorial Hall was built. It was opened in 1927 and was called the New Sunday School and Institute. In the chapel, unusually, there were six stained glass windows to the fallen in 1914-18. These were all from other Methodist chapels in the town, which became redundant and were demolished. Upstairs, the two forward windows are a pair taken from the old Greenbank Chapel. The back two are from Rise Carr, Bondgate Chapel, including the personal memorial to Christopher Chipchase given by his parents” (See D40.90).
3. Mrs. J.W. Chipchase, who unveiled the plaque, was presented with a photograph of it as a memento.
4. The Rev. T.J. Gladwin stated that he was glad that the names had not been restricted only to those who were members of the church.
5. This window is one of two unveiled on the same day. See D40.90.
