North Road were very thorough in their remembrance: they commissioned a stained glass window, with accompanying plaque and book, and also a booklet which gives full details of the 23 members who died, the 132 who served and returned, and even the two ladies who served in the VAD. This full record is unusual, but inevitably there are some discrepancies due to the different times when the names were recorded.
The list provided in 1929 contains all the dead, who were:
Pte. Herbert R. Ascough West Yorkshire Regt.

Pte. John William Beilby King’s Own (Royal Lancaster) Regt.

The roll held within the church, which accompanied the stained glass window was presumably written before the war ended, as Bladen, Butler, Chapman, Dover, Heseldine, Liddle, Mason. Rickaby. Shinkfield, Smith and Whittle are not noted as casualties, and Ascough, Bewll, Geldard, and Marley are not listed at all. It may be found at
