Additional information
The Standish R.C. Parish War Memorial.
The Roman Catholic Parish Church of Standish and district, near Wigan, Lancashire is known as St Marie's, Our Lady of the Annunciation [Photograph No 1]. It is situated on Almond Brook Road, Standish.
Originally, the parish war memorial was dedicated to remember parishioners who died in the 1914 - 1918 World War. Following the Second World War (1939 - 1945) it was re-dedicated to remember the parishioners who had died in that war Around the time of the Second Millennium, the war memorial was relocated to its present, more prominent, location during major church refurbishments [Photograph No 2].
Beneath the crucifix on the front of the plinth is a panel listing the names of the 13 parishioners who died in the 1914 -1918 war [Photograph No 3]. Following the Second World War, the names of 11 additional parishioners who had died in that conflict were added to a panel on the right-hand side of the plinth supporting the crucifix [Photograph No 4].
