War Memorial Window, plaques & grave photos Christ Church Charnock Richard

Found this in my old family papers. Hoping Jonathan may get a photo of it soon. From recollection the window is pretty amazing. The Church has what appears to be a well researched ww1 plaque but cannot recall if ww2 names are listed anywhere.

 

1. Photo the stain glass window
2. Check out the roll of honour
3. Discover if the WW2 names are listed.

Right, I'd best get cracking!

Susan,
Very good of you to issue the 'chop chop' command
You must have taken a page from my wife's handbook!

Jonathan,
Great photos.

Have to say that I am incredibly impressed with Jonathans apparently well trained response . Seriously am very moved by photos and if Jonathan can think of a reciprocal mission he would like carrying out down in the land of the "Southern softies" I will be delighted to Chop Chop!
