Rededication of memorial plaques to the “Fallen Men” of Acton Bridge

Originally sited in the former Methodist Chapel in Chapel Lane, two plaques to the fallen men of World War I and World War II were relocated to the Parish Rooms in September 2020. The Parish Council also purchased a new plaque detailing the origin of the Chapel plaques and all the names of those from the Village who fell in both World Wars. Thanks go to the Rev T Simms, formerly of the Methodist Chapel who performed a rededication service on 13th July 2021 and to local businesses Edmund Nagle, Yoxall Ltd and Whitby’s who removed, restored and mounted the plaques free of charge, and also to Bob Heaton who co-ordinated the whole project.
