Description
Presented to the Parish Church by Isabella MacRae-Gilstrap in 1922. She later collected together the Rolls of Honour from four local churches and they are displayed in a room at the castle. The Roll of Honour lists all who served by service/regiment and records those killed with details. Framed and glazed, elaborately decorated illuminated calligraphy on one panel. One of the four Rolls of Honour was damaged when moved but not sure which one.
