Notes:

1. This Book of Remembrance was commissioned in order to preserve the names which were on the cross formerly in St. Lawrence’s Churchyard. See B95.09.

2. It was placed in St. Michael’s church, but this was part of the area to be redeveloped. When the cross was moved to St. Silas’, it was considered better to place the book at the same church as the cross.

3. It is hoped to be able to put the book into a display case in due course.
