History and Architecture:
A Church window portrait of St Alban was unveiled during a service on Sunday 16 December 1917 with 61 names inscribed. The window now has 70 names, suggesting that a supplementary group was added after the cessation of hostilites.
A Foundation stone reads, " This Memorial stone was laid by Mrs M.H. Davies November 26th 1888. N Billings and Sons Architects".
