Memento
St James’, Bishampton
Ordnance Survey Reference: SO 990519
This is a stone tablet on an interior wall of the church:
|
1914-1918 The Great War Died for our Country from Bishampton A. Aldridge H. Crouch J. Ludlow F. Morris W. Perks H. Thomas |
Notes:
A. Aldridge is very likely the same person as the Albert Thomas Aldridge listed on the Naunton Beauchamp memorial.
And this sheet of paper, in a wooden frame: it appears to be a WW II
listing. One name is underlined for some reason (died?). The ink is extremely faded in the comment about Kenneth Seabright – the word in brackets is my best guess at reading it. (on a happier note, there is a framed photo nearby, dated
May 1970, of Bishampton Choir, in which C.J. Salisbury is shown as one of the churchwardens)
