We have tried to match up the names on the memorial plaques with the information given on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website. In some cases this has not been possible - either the person cannot be found, or there are several likely alternatives.

For the World War 2 plaque we do not have any military service details which has made it more difficult to narrow down the search in some cases. Any assistance in identifying the remaining names would be gratefully received.

Please contact the Parish Office if you can help. 

Clicking on a highlighted name below will open up a new window on the CWGC site displaying the details held, including the cemetery or memorial. Further links on that page will display:

• a certificate with the details as before and a photograph of the cemetery or memorial
• a page giving details of the cemetery/memorial and the nature of the campaign commemorated in that location.

Names are listed in the same format and order in which they appear on the memorials. Assuming the CWGC list is definitive, there appear to be some errors over the precise names or the exact rank/regiment/branch in some cases. The alphabetical order has also gone awry in some sections of both plaques.  

1914 - 1919

These names are listed on a brass plaque within a marble surround on the wall of the north aisle. The design of the memorial is attributed to Johnson.
 

1939 - 1945

These names are all listed on an illuminated framed parchment on the south wall of the church. The St Oswald's altar by the organ has been dedicated as the Second World War memorial. Also of note is the crucifix above this altar which was rescued from a First World War battlefield where it is believed to have been used as a calvary.
