Plaque, 10 inches high x 1 foot 8 inches wide (254mm x 457mm) set on a pattress 1 foot 3 inches high x 1 foot 10 inches wide (381mm x 559mm). There is a single narrow line border round the edge. The names are listed in three columns. Lettering is in Roman capitals throughout, the dedication is in red and the names in black.

Notes
1. Following a fire at Coldwell Street, the congregation moved to Holly Hill until the present building (Felling Methodist Church) was opened. Holly Hill was demolished due to dry rot and to help pay for the new church building. The plaque was moved to Coldwell Street in 1980.
