The History Of Saint Mary's Lidgate

Commemoration Of The War Dead

As with most churches the churches those who fell in the two great wars are remembered and Saint Mary's church is no exception.

Further information about those men and others who gave their lives in war can be found on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website at http://www.cwgc.org/. An excellent search facility is available here giving information about those who died in war.

Another forces resource is the Forces Reunited site http://www.forcesreunited.co.uk/.
