Newhampton Road (Cranmer) Wesleyan Church Memorial and Roll of Honour.

The Memorial Plaque, picture taken from the book "Newhampton Road Wesleyan Church Roll of Honour 1914-1919" published 1920. The plaque was erected in the church.

The Church was demolished in 1980 and the plaque was taken down,it's whereabouts are unknown. The memorial is an inscribed brass plate mounted on an oak surround, it was designed by Mr. G. Moore Jr and engraved by Edwards and Ingram.

The dedication of the Memorial took place on Sunday 24th October 1920 and was unveiled by W. M. Bayliss JP.

The roll of Honour Plaque was erected in the Schoolroom, it was a large brass plaque mounted on oak recording in alphabetical order the 172 names of the men who served during the First World War. It's whereabouts is also unknown.

UPDATE!!

Tim Corbett was looking at this website and read about the memorial's being missing. He contacted his Father who is a member of this church to discuss the memorials and there possible whereabouts. They went looking for them and found both memorial's sitting in a shed on the church site.
On Remembrance Sunday this year 13/11/05 a Remembrance Service was held at Cranmer Church and the Memorial was rededicated by the Revd Bill Huband. The memorial will be again on display in the Church for all to see.
Thank you to Tim and his Father.
