Post War Years
In Commemoration
of the hospital war effort a "Roll of Honour" inscribed on oak was
made in the hospital carpenter's shop and measured some 20 feet long and six
feet high. It bears the names of soldiers who died whilst in the Wharncliffe
War Hospital, and in the centre panel was a list of the names of 8 members
of the asylum staff who lost their lives. The completed panel was erected
at the rear of the church but now due to the possible redevelopment of the
building, they have been removed. Pictures
