St Bartholomew's Church

Those who served in the Great War 1914-1918

In the Church are two framed documents, one telling of the erection of the memorial, signed by the dignitaries involved, the other listing the villagers who served in the 1914-18 War, with names of those who died in action written in red.

 

 

We are pleased to note the addition of J.H.Grewcock to the Hints Roll of Honour as of October 2001. It seems that the two Grewcocks were brothers, and we are now hoping to find more information on all of those listed. We are most greatfull to the staff at the Staffordshire Military Museum for providing us with this extra detail.

The Churchyard has one War Grave which is Pte Edward Keeling who died in 1919. At this moment the only information we have about Pte Keeling is that his family came from Elford.
