| tempus275 Quote | Reply | | Heanor Parish War Memorial posted on: 9/29/2007 8:44:05 PM As part of the on-going website project for St. Lawrence's church in Heanor we will be having a section for family history which will also contain some information about memorials past and present. There will be a special page for the war memorial / British legion roll of honor. We would be interested to hear from anyone who has photos of family members who are remembered on either of these memorials, or who have "family stories" that have been passed down through the family about them. If you have any information you wish to share please contact us at history@stlawrence.org.uk |
