St George`s Roll of HonourPrint Page
The wooden honour roll commemorates those connected with the church who served in World Wars One and Two. The names of those who died in service or were killed in action in World War Two were placed on the honour roll in 1946. The honour roll has a peaked roof and a large Christian cross in the centre.
Organised by the Servicemen's Parents and Wives' Association branch, a dance was held in the hall. Proceeds and donations amounting to £15, are for placing names of servicemen who gave their lives in the Second World War, on the honour roll in St. George's Church.
