Description
A set of three cast brass plaques with finely detailed and repeating but non-symmetrical floral designs above and below the names on the side plaques, and small floral designs in the corners of the central plaques. The plaques have no perforations through the metal, and no fixings on the back - this is likely to mean that they were probably set into a triple frame, or perhaps a set of frames to allow them to be fixed onto a wall. They are also rather odd as there is another memorial confirmed as St Andrew's WW1 (our reference 58255) which has 37 names, so it is unclear whether this is in fact from another church from the complex set of unions which finally led to St Andrew Erskine Church.
