We are very grateful to Roger Newsome (<renewsome@live.co.uk) for providing us with the photos and transcriptions. Due to weathering, and the presence of lichen, the Memorial proved extremely difficult to read. This is another good example of the need to preserve these memorials before time takes its toll.
