Location

In the lich-gate entrance to the grounds of St John the Evangelist's Church, Sandbach Heath, Cheshire.

Description

A marble panel in the lych-gate records the names of those of the parish who lost their lives in WW1.

I understand there was no loss of life from the parish in WW2.

There is a WW1 Roll of Honour inside the church.
