About the memorial: Two slate tablets in the inner foyer- one for each conflict- Weston and Jefferson were WW2, Christian was WW1. Note the date for the Harry Christian VC action is incorrect-it should be 18 October 1915. These tablets have now been relocated to the outer foyer, beside the box office, as there is now a door restricting access to the Hall itself to performance times. The Hall is universally known locally as "The Coro"
