Notes
1. The Church has suffered some water damage, but the Memorials were unaffected.
2. St Luke's Parish Church Pallion was built in 1872 and consecrated in 1875.
The parish boundaries extend from the banks of the river and include the shipbuilders Short Brothers which was one of the first yards on the river to close when the demand for small ships fell.
