Good stuff, Scrimnet.

Saves me giving you a phone call tomorrow evening then!
I'll be the one with a big lump of metal under my arm!

I've just read this through from begining to end, wonderful, fantastic effort.

My own tupence worth for the next time such a treasure is found is that a RC memorial from that age (or WWII for that matter) should be easy to identify. It will almost certainly have the initials R.I.P. on it and possibly latin inscription on the lines of "eternal rest grant unto them o Lord and may perpetual light shine upon them" the customary prayer said for the dead. Of course that does not rule out a High Church Anglo Catholic CofE congregation, but no R.I.P. and it probably isn't RC.

Thudders / Midnight Runner will you post the details of when the rededication is to be?

Many thanks for the privilege of reading this saga.

Happy hunting

Good morning everyone,
Scrimnet, you will be more than welcome, I will be the one with a camera in my hand!
Canuc, that was an interesting piece of info, thank you. I would not have made the connection had I read it on anything, probably even if it was in a Catholic Church!
Gentlemen, I shall have the kettle on!!
See you tomorrow or 'CU tomo' for the texting generation.

Excellent, thank you Midnight Runner.

Scrimnet - You know the drill..... "Sir, give the Sgt the map if you want to get to where you're supposed to be!"

Until tomorrow, gentlemen.
