United Reform Church Memorial

In researching this web site, I found that the URC Memorial went missing when the building was converted into apartments, around 2004/2005. I have enquiried with the church authorities as to the whereabouts of the memorial, but it appears to be lost. If you have any knowledge of the location of thr memorial, please contact me via the email address shown above.

The Memorial Boards in the United Reform Church in Aspinall Street contain the names of 5 members of the congregation who fell in the First World War and 2 from the Second World War.

The boards are wall mounted with the inscription and names in relief. The board has a wreath at the top and bottom, and laurel garlands on either side. The inscription above the names reads:-
