Nouvea Riche

Monuments and Memorials

The oak screen at the base of the west tower commemorates those who lost their lives in two world wars and was installed in 1923.

The glazed oak screen above the 1923 memorial records the new millennium with the letters MM on the two inner panels.   This millennium memorial, funded by parishioners and the Parochial Church Council, was installed by Chardstock Joinery in 2003.

Many older memorials are distributed throughout the church and a pointer to the nouvea riche of the day is the word yeoman denoting those with new-found wealth.
