The War Memorial standing outside St Mary’s Church, Weaverham was dedicated and unveiled on 24th July 1921. Weaverham Parish Council is arranging a service to commemorate the centenary of the memorial on Saturday, 24th July 2021 at 11:00am.
As Acton Bridge is within the ecclesiastical parish of Weaverham there are some Acton Bridge residents named on the memorial, including:
John Buckley
William Dutton
Edward Harcourt Drowley (From Milton)
C L Kyffin (From Dutton Locks)
Thomas Lightfoot
Gordon Eric Martin
Arthur Shallcross
Weaverham Parish Council would, therefore, like to extend an invitation to Acton Bridge Parish Council and any residents of Acton Bridge who may wish to do so, to attend the service, which will be held next to the Memorial. There will be light refreshments in the Church Hall after the service.
