Notes

1. It was thought that the organ, installed in 1922 by H.S. Vincent, organ builder from Sunderland, was part of the memorial. However, it has now been established that it is the panelling around the organ which is the memorial. The fact that both organ and plaque were dedicated at the same service gives rise to confusion.
