Notes:

1. There was a fire in the church  in 1928 but the War Memorial and the organ were rescued.  One recent comment is:

“The triptych looks old and worn, and its appearance is not helped by the surrounding wall which is cracked and flaking.  It is only fair to say that the original church was burnt down in 1928, so presumably this survived somehow, which may account for its condition.”
