The first memorial is a glazed scroll detailing those who served (41) in the two World Wars, with those who died annotated at the bottom. In a hinged frame, making it possible for a change to avoid the glare from the glass

The second is a carved panel on the pulpit with the names of two men who died in the Great War. The oak pulpit, 1.7m high, 61 cn wide, was unveiled on 20th November 1921 by A.E.Cornish (ex Suffolk Regt), dedicated by Rev Canon F.J.Fulford

The third is a wall mounted wooden plaque carved with the names of three who fell in 1939-45. Of oak, 35cm high, 56cm wide, carved by Mr.S.W.Deaves.

The memorials are installed in St.Mary's Church

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.
