Nuthall - St Patrick's Church

St Patrick's church, Kimberley Road, Nuthall, Nottingham. The memorial comprises a stained glass window in the south wall of the nave and an alabaster and slate tablet below. The tablet bears the dedication: 'This window is erected to the Glory of God and in ever loving memory of those brave men of Nuthall who gave their lives for King and Country in the Great war of 1914-1918 in the cause of justice and freedom.' Nuthall war memorial committee raised £183 1s 6d which met the cost of the window (approx. £94), the tablet (approx. £41) and the costs of the faculties and the service of dedication. The memorial was probably dedicated some time after September 1920, when the bills for the memorials were paid, and before the end of November by which time the accounts for the costs associated with the service of dedication had been met. The window was supplied and installed by Burlison & Grylls, one of the most successful stained glass firms in England, and the tablet was supplied and installed by FS Birch, monumental sculptor, of Montague Street, Bulwell.
