Kate Wills Posted 24 February , 2004 Share Posted 24 February , 2004 Getting back to his denomination, if any. John, do you know he was Church of England; was the church memorial originally raised for parishoners, or placed there on behalf of everyone from the immediate area? The villagers of Naseby in Northamptonshire had quite a set-to over the placing of their memorial. It was planned to go in the churchyard, but the Chapel-folk protested, and so was built on neutral territory at the village crossroads. Also, are you certain he still had close ties with the district? Just because a man does not appear on a particular memorial does not necessarily indicate a deliberate snub. There are many names that are not where we, ninety years on, might expect to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john w. Posted 24 February , 2004 Author Share Posted 24 February , 2004 Kate I accept waht you say.... As said earlier.. maybe on the other thread.. the village didnt have a war memorial and they are now trying to put together a list of those who fell and this will be in the village as opposed to the two churches. I did call for a precedent on those who were executed being placed on memorials and recieved only one... Fox. As to his faith.... at present unknown as his papers are lost. I am going to the County Record office to examine the parish records. He has been elusive but I hope to make some progress but maybe not via the easy route...
