The War Memorial at St Paul's

The war memorial is found just inside the South West porch. It was constructed following the end of the Great War, and the inscription reads:
REMEMBER WITH PRAYERS AND THANKSGIVING THESE OUR BROTHERS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919.

​

This of course now includes the Second World War, and the sentiments apply to anyone who has given their life in conflict since then; the Poppy Appeal is as relevant now as it ever was.
