davidbohl Posted 22 April , 2020 Share Posted 22 April , 2020 There is a book "The Parish. The History of Runcorn All Saints C.E. Primary School" http://www.runcornhistsoc.org.uk/Runcorn_history_secondary_sources_books_pamphlets.html It was published in 2002 but there may be hope.

stuart rowles Posted 25 November , 2022 Author Share Posted 25 November , 2022 Spoke to the author but no luck there. He has not seen the memorial and does not have a photograph of it. There must be someone out there that has a picture of it surely. What else can I try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kath Posted 25 November , 2022 Share Posted 25 November , 2022 An appeal to a local newspaper may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullochArd Posted 25 November , 2022 Share Posted 25 November , 2022 (edited) I might be stating the obvious here Stuart but an All Saints Runcorn Primary School memorial may have gravitated to another in use location. This occasionally happens. Local to me I have one moved and "lost" found in an affiliated Church cellar and another moved and "lost" found in a local museum storeroom. There is hope. I picked a curious name - J/John Dwerryhouse. There is a J/John Dwerryhouse named on both the All Saints WW1 Chapel in Runcorn (IWM WMR 52333) and the WW1 Alter at St Benedict's RC Chapel (IWM WMR 42922). Warrington Both of these locations are still in use. In the absence of any other leads, I'd give them a call. Longer shot - the current All Saints' CE Primary School, Church Street, Runcorn, Cheshire may have inherited it?

jacks Posted 25 November , 2022 Share Posted 25 November , 2022 I would definitely contact All Saints Church, especially if the school was affiliated with it. Whoever made arrangements for the school to be pulled down could have some information. I have attached the newspaper report of the unveiling. It says the memorial has illustrations of the church, it might be possible the church has a record of who made it and possible a photo or a sketch of the proposed memorial. The record (if any exist) may have been deposited with the local archives. Good luck. Runcorn Weekly News - Friday 09 April 1926 .pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
