Notes:

1. “The photograph (of this memorial) came to me from a granddaughter of John Taylor; she does not know whether it was ever erected in the church”. (Patrick Brannen).

2. The granddaughter is Mrs. Annie Simmonds, her grandfather was one of the designers of the memorial.

3. The interesting thing about this memorial is that it only states “1914” as though it were created at the very beginning of the war which, so it was thought, was to have been over by Christmas.
