‘The War Memorial consists of a large bronze tablet, on an oak base, on which are the names of 334 ‘men from the parish of Heeley who laid down their lives in the Great War.’ The cost was £177.
Other memorials to those who died of wounds are a brass cross above the communion table to Lieut. W.F. Balcher, given by his mother; and a brass alms dish, in memory of Sergeant Thomas Thompson, the gift of his mother.' (no image as yet)
On a pillar on the north side of the nave is a brass tablet ‘To the memory of Reginald Pryce Jones, 2nd Lieut, York and Lancaster Rgt, Killed in action, Flanders, Oct. 19, 1917, aged 23 years. ‘Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.’
(Sweet and seemly is it to die for one’s fatherland.’ – Horace.)
