Memorial St Mary Major

Memorial Plaque

"To the Glory of God and in Remembrance of
Leonard Rounds
Gilbert B. P. Cox
Clifford Bartlett
Reginald White
Who gave their lives in the Great War
1914-1918
Faithful unto death"

It is likely that the relatives of these men placed this plaque in the church due to the time taken to raise the funds for the permanent war memorial now sited in St Mary Major churchyard
