War Memorial, St Werburgh's Catholic Church, Chester.

Location

In St Werburgh's Catholic Church, Chester.

Description

Two documents, framed and mounted on the wall. One shows the names of those of the parish who fell in the 1914 - 1818 conflict. The other shows the names of those of the parish who fell in 1939 - 1940 war, in the Korean War, and in Northern Ireland.

War memorials can be a sensitive subject in a Catholic church in the UK. Brass plaques were installed in St Werburgh's following the wars. Later, a Parish Priest had the plaques removed and destroyed. Later still, another Priest installed the present memorials.
