The bells of the church commemorate those who served in World War Two. A plaque acknowledging the gift was placed in the church.
At an impressive service in Tamworth Methodist Church a memorial to the men of the Second World War was unveiled and dedicated. The big congregation included. the Mayor and Mayoress (Ald. H. J. Varley and Mrs. Varley), representatives of the R.S.S. and A.I.L.A. and the Women's Auxiliary, Legacy, Red Cross and Girl Guides. After Dr. H. R. H. Beattie, president of the R.S.S. and A.I.L.A., unveiled the bells, the lights were switched off and the Legacy torch lit as he led the congregation in the Act of Remembrance. This was followed by the playing of the hymn, "Abide With Me" on the bells and the prayer of dedication, led by Rev. M. L. Layton. Then the choir, conducted by Mr. R. Page, and accompanied by Mrs. R. K. Warne on the organ sang " O Valiant Hearts." The soloists were the Misses Judy Bruderlin and Judy Connaughton. The bells are amplified from special recording's of famous carilIons and were erected by the trustees with a bequest from the late Miss Maud Moffat (sister of Mr. O. G. Moffatt of Muswellbrook) A plaque acknowledging the gift has been placed in the church porch.
