Notes
1. There was a proposal to remove these to the newly opened Heritage Centre at Newbiggin by the Sea.
2. There has to be another memorial recording those who served if the newspaper report is correct. See N33.01
3. The men named were members of the church, and not all those from the community who died.
4. For a while these were stored in the Woodhorn Colliery Museum.
5 The Methodist and Wesleyan Methodist Chapels merged in the 1930s and for a while both plaques were in the Methodist Church.
