St Swithin's Church, Wellow, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG22 0EW. Granite and marble tablet, dedication: 'Sacred to the memory of the men of this parish who fell in the Great War 1914-1918 (names) RIP'. The memorial was unveiled in August 1921. Mansfield Reporter, 19 August 1921: ‘Wellow War Memorial. Last Friday evening, a marble tablet was unveiled in Wellow Church in the presence of a large congregation. The Wellow troop of boy scouts, under the leadership of Mr A Cleaver, were in attendance. At the service preceding the unveiling a sermon was preached by the Rev. Noel Prentiss, of Kneesall, the text being taken from the Book of Wisdom; ‘The souls of the righteous are in his hands.’ The preacher said these heroes had died for their country, for home and loved ones, and to keep our homesteads free from foreign plough-shares, our girls from outrage, and our young boys from the horrors of war. It was better to die thus than through the wearing away and decay of the mental and physical powers. They are safe in God’s hands, and our lives must be lived so that we shall at some time meet those we are now honouring. The unveiling of the memorial followed, and this was done by Mr Clarence Crofts, who spoke a few words at the time. Mr Crofts is a Wellow soldier who has lost both legs through the war, and is the brother to one who made the supreme sacrifice. The Rev. JW Paley Reade, vicar of Ollerton, then solemnly dedicated the memorial, and the service concluded by the singing of the hymn, I know that my Redeemer lives.’ Some of the congregation brought wreaths and placed them below the memorial. The names inscribed thereon are: Christopher Caudwell, Wm. Clay, Albert Crofts, James Crowder and Alfred Crowder. The work of preparing and fixing the tablet has been ably carried out by Mr B Brammer, of Worksop.' (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk)
