A wooden panel mounted on a wall gives details of those of the parish who fell in both world wars. It shows their names, regimental details, and date of death. The writing is in black, with capital letters in a different colour that has faded to a point where it is difficult to read. Indeed, there may have been initials after the last name in the list, Frank SIMS, but if there were, they have faded completely.
A parchment scroll mounted alongside gives roughly the same information. It doesn't give regimental details, and one of the names it slightly different, Edward SWETENHAM instead of Edmund SWETENHAM.
Both memorials appear to have been created shortly after WW1, and to have had the solitary WW2 name added at a later date.
