About the memorial: St Peter's Church closed in 2001 (when the congregation moved to a smaller building) and it was demolished in 2014. Its WW1 memorial was a peal of bells with an external tablet at the base of the SW tower, plus an additional tablet for WW2. What became of the bells after the church was demolished is not clear. The WW1 and WW2 tablets have been remounted in a Stone of Remembrance situated at what was once the base of the NW tower, and were rededicated on 11th November 2018. The rear of the Stone of Remembrance holds the 'Coronation Clock', originally installed at the top of the NW tower for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
