About the memorial: Two Marble memorial tablets on inside of church wall, either side of the crucified Christ. Two Marble tablets set into the marble floor. The whole in an enclosure bounded by short wooden panels and gilded metal gate giving access. A complex memorial. The 2nd WW2 marble tablet (for Preston Catholic College) has been entered separately as WMO/17774. The April 2022 photographs were taken during Passiontide when all crosses and crucifixes are traditionally veiled in purple in Christian Churches. I am aware that the image of the WW1 dedication is obscured by a wreath. With other people being in the Church and it being a sacred space because of the passiontide veiling, it was considered by me to be improper to rearrange the wreath.
