War Memorials in the Churches Of Leeds - Inscriptions and Details - Compiler Margaret Ford, YAS Family History Section, 2010, ISBN 978 1 903564 46 2; 60 pages, soft cover, A5 format.

This is the second book produced by Margaret Ford and her friends to help Family Historians who are searching for details from War Memorials.

Included in this volume are memorials from St. Anne's Roman Catholic Cathedral, Leeds Parish Church of St Peter, St John's Briggate, Holy Trinity Boar Lane, and the Unitarian Chapel of Mill Hill in City Square.

Some have been difficult to locate and others can be overlooked by the casual researcher, an instance of this is in the thirty one names recorded on the backs of chairs in the Lady Chapel of Leeds Parish Church.

Her first publication listed the details of those who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars that are recorded on the official war memorials located in the cemeteries of Leeds

The book is available from the Family History Section bookstall at meetings or from our publications page on this site. The book costs £4.50 UK and £5.0 airmail.
