Worcestershire | Barnt Green | War Memorial
| St Andrew’s, Barnt Green Ordnance Survey reference: SP 009736 War Memorial |
The memorial used to be on the front wall of the church in Sandhills Road: the memorial consisted of a crucifix with a staute of a soldier to the left
and a sailor to the right above two metal plaques with the following
inscriptions :
WW I
|
1914+REMEMBER+1918 ALBERT BRADBURY ARTHUR JEYNES JOSEPH Hy.CAPENER JOHN MCCARTHY SAMUEL CALLIMORE HORACE C MERRICK PERCY STEVENS MAY THEY REST IN PEACE |
And WW II:
|
1939+1945 DENNIS ALFORD HARRY BUSBY PERCY BULL REGINALD DODD RICHARD GANDY |
The original details were for the memorial as it was in 1999. E.M. Buckett has emailed me (May 2002) with details of alterations since then:
St Andrews
Barnt Green War Memorial plaque was removed from the church wall when major
work was carried out on the church.
A new free standing war memorial has been built in the shape of a
semicircular wall with a bench seat on the inside, ‘concave’ side. The plaque
and figures have been built into the outside ‘convex’ side, of the war
memorial, which stands in the grounds at the front of St Andrew’s Church.
