St Peter's Chorley

Visited St Peter's Parish church last summer.
I was quite disappointed with the condition of the memorial. It will only be a short while before the letters of the names on the memorial will be erased. Hopefully I have all the transcription right. The actual dedication is a little unusual with the wording. The memorial itself is quite robust. The weather varied from overcast to quite sunny. It does appear that the photos were taken on different days  - but not so. The church grounds are quite big. The style of the memorial suits the church.



The path to the right leads to the South Entrance

The rear of the church.
The tip of the bell tower is just seen at the left corner of the roof



Edge on. The cross faces the road and the rear faces the church




This is the inscription on the memorial. Hopefully it is correct.
