Gave Their Lives
A brass tablet mounted on oak, executed and presented by Flt. Lt. W. Hubbard, of Newton Bromswold, has been set in the west wall of the Parish Church in memory of two villagers who lost their lives during the war.

The plaque, dedicated at the Sunday afternoon service by the Rev. A. Ayton Williams, Vicar of Chelveston, is inscribed: “To the glory of God and in grateful remembrance of Richard King, Royal Artillery, Robert Edward Lines, Grenadier Guards, who gave their lives in the World War 1939-45.”

The plaque was unveiled by Mrs. R. E. Lines.
