THORNLEY St. Bartholomew’s Church
Book of Remembrance
1914-1919
1939-1946
This Book of Remembrance and the base
to contain it were given by Mr and Mrs Roland
N. Brewster to be kept in the Parish Church for the
Thornley British Legion, so that the names of the
Fallen can be read there from at the annual Service of
Remembrance
These gifts were presented to the Vicar, the
Reverend Philip G. Mold, B.D., by Dr Alexander P. Gray,
President of Thornley British Legion, at a special Service
on Sunday, November 5th, 1961. After the Unveiling,
performed by Mr William Bovill, former Secretary of
Thornley British Legion, they were blessed and dedicated
by the Vicar. Others taking part in the Service were
the Reverend Gordon Johnson, Methodist Minister, and
Captain Audrey Mason, of the Salvation Army. The
organ was played by Miss Maureen Stark, and the
Last Post sounded by Bandmaster Edward G.J. Kitto and
Mr Harry Hood, of the Thornley Colliery Silver Band. The
Legion Standards were carried by Mr and Mrs Robert
Slater. Representatives of the Thornley, Wheatley Hill,
Ludworth, Cassop, Coxhoe and Trimdon British Legion
Branches were present.
The business arrangements were carried out by
Mr Thomas H. Holder and the Vicar.
