- Reference
- Southwell and Nottingham Church History Project, Ordsall All Hallows; Details re the War Memorial Cross in the churchyard include mention that: 'The names of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Great War are not recorded, although the War Memorial in the churchyard at Nottingham St Mary’s records that 51 died from the parish of Ordsall. Research is ongoing to recover details of those men. The Commonwealth War graves photographic project records 20 war related burials and memorials in Ordsall churchyard covering both First and Second World Wars. There are two Commonwealth War Grave headstones relating to the First World War, 13 relating to the Second World War, the rest are commemorated on relatives' memorials and are buried elsewhere. A further such memorial has been found which would bring the total to 21. In 1961 a gift was made to the church by Mr and Mrs Plews – a scarlet book containing a list of the Second World War dead. It was handwritten by Mrs Plews who was a lecturer in art at Eaton Hall Teacher Training College'. southwellchurches.nottingham.ac.uk/ordsall/hwarmem.php
