About the memorial: A small wheel cross on top of a tall, capped, tapering plinth with dedication on front face and names on sides. Memorial stands on two section square base on a square pavement in plot surrounded by iron fence. It sits in front of a wall painted mural.The war memorial, commemorating the parish dead of the First World War, was erected near the south-east corner of the church around 1920. After 1945 an inscription was added in honour of the Second World War dead. The monument was moved to its present position in 1991. The memorial is Grade II Listed. The mural behind has made the most of a rather uninspiring wall. (c Marathon, from geograph). N.B. A photograph of a 2019 ceremony which featured children has been removed in accordance with WMT policy. Other photos from the ceremony remain. The church is now Brick Lane Music Hall

Comments:

The yard the memorial is in is protected by a very high, heavy duty metal fence so no public access is possible. By chance I saw the caretaker when passing, who refused point blank to let me take close up close up images or let me get anywhere near as "they" [the music hall owners] will only allow people attending an event there to do so- this "isn't a Church now". There is no external sign to state when such events are, and no web presence that I can trace. From what I could see the lettering looks to be extremely worn and hard to read.
This is a case which needs a formal WMT approach to obtain access or images and then consider a response. I have not met with such hostility over an external public memorial before. At the end of the day I was merely passing, with limited time and no wish for further engagement.
