Two similar memorial tablets, one Church of England, the other Methodist, in St Peter's Church. In several of the examples in which the main parish war memorial is located inside the boundaries of the Church of England's land, the non-conformist churches are often provided with separate memorials as part of the same commemorative scheme. This is particularly common in smaller parishes, which worked together in their commemorative efforts such as at Sandford, Dalwood, and Cornwood.
