Notes
1. "I am fairly familiar with what happened at St Andrew, Chilton Moor, where you will find the oak floor in the Chancel C108.02 as a memorial. I was in the choir there when this was fitted, I believe by Binns Shopfitters of Sunderland. Other work was done about the same time by Binns - a new porch at the West door, a screen around the organ seat, a music cupboard for the choir music for example, however I do not know if any of them were War memorials. There were other items that I can remember - new hymn boards, communion vessels and so on and I suspect that there may be more War Memorials to find at this church but probably only from a perusal of Church records."
