History
Seaton Delaval Presbyterian Church moved to new premises in the 1960s-1970s, and the building was taken over by Ivanhoe Forge Ltd. It is thought that the memorial was left in place when the church vacated the building. However, the occupants of the building as at December 2020 confirmed that the memorial was no longer in the building and that they did not know what had become of it.
