Please find below details of our fallen soldiers who fell during World War One. The names are engraved upon the restored Memorial plaque situated within Longburrow Hall.
The Memorial Plaque originated from The Beacons Bottom Chapel (Photo below) and custodianship was passed to Stokenchurch Parish Council after the Chapels closure.
