At the top of Lord street, on the left hand side is St Peter's church. This is the first war memorial that was erected in Fleetwood. A memorial garden was built later that also had the names of the fallen on a somewhat grander memorial. Here are the photos and the inscriptions.
Well kept memorial.

| Designed by Decimus Burton and first opened in 1841. St Peter's Anglican Church was enlarged in 1860 and again by Messr's Paley and Austin of Lancaster in 1883. The church was built with a spire but this was removed in about 1904 when it became unsafe. In the church grounds stands the town's original war memorial commemorating the dead of the First World War. The church continues to be used as a place of worship today |

ReplyDeleteThank you for this page and the lovely photos of Fleetwood St Peters and the War Memorial. At least one SALTHOUSE man commemorated here is my relative. Hall S. Salthouse is a first cousin of my great granddad. Hall died on 4 May 1915 age 20 & was the son of Edward Salthouse(Snr)and Elizabeth nee Gardner. Hall's middle name was Sheard, so I bet the other Sheard Salthouse is also related on their Salthouse side, though I am descended from the Gardner family side.
Many thanks, it was lovely to come across this.
