Hi Annie,
I received the following reply from the Minister today:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I will refer the matter to the Church Elders and to the Wessex Synod officers.

Between us we should find a more appropriate place for this memorial.

Please contact me again in two weeks – if you have not had a further message from me!

So it looks like we might very well get the boys home in a couple of weeks!
Obviously, I will let everyone know when the decision has been made and I'll try to get some photographs and post them  on the thread.

Yep, I'm sure I'll get it for free Wendi.  ;D

Annie, would you believe me if I said that I hadn't actually gone in the yard to get anything.  I didn't even know the yard was there!  I was out with a friend who just wanted to 'pop in' to see what was there.  Talk about a lucky break!

Greetings everyone.
I can tell you that it was almost certainly from Trinity Congregational, and then United Reformed Church in Reading. The church was situated on the corner of Sidmouth Street and Queens Road in Reading.
I was a member there for a good many years until it closed in the early part of 1980. It ws demolished not long after before Reading Borough Council could list it!
Part of the site is now occupied by Trinity Hall, a student accommodation facility, and it would be good for it to go there if they would accept it. Otherwise, it could fing lodging at the church that I now attend, which is a daughter Church of Trinity.
I must add that I am writing this without any proper authority, but would be prepared to be involved in any negotiations.
I am so glad that you found it Thudders, I wonder how it came to be where it was.
I still have a sale catalogue of the contents of the church, but there is no mention of the plaque.
I also have a photo of the church which is on the front of the catalogue which I will scan and post for you to see, but I cannot do it until Monday.
This should clear up the mystery for you all. Thank you for you concern for it's welfare.
