Notes:

1. There appears to have been a plaque for 1914-18 only in the old church. When the move to the new church happened, this plaque replaced it.

2. Additional pipes and stops were added to the organ and rededicated November 11th 1936.

3. The church subsequently moved to Marsden Road. The organ was destroyed and replaced by a more modern one and the names from 1939-45 added.
