Description
Metal Plaque in an ornately carved wooden frame, the 65 names were on a Roll of Honour. While this seems to no longer exist a photograph of it has been found in the 'Catholic Herald' newspaper of 11 July 1925. The fieldworker also reports 2 two light stained glass windows- however from the imagery and the Latin texts on them it is not clear that they are part of the memorial scheme.
