Lest We Forget
Rung by the local band with the bells half muffled in the evening on Remembrance Sunday.
In memory of all those who have lost their lives fighting for our Country in conflicts past and present, especially during the two World Wars, but especially the 12 men & boys from this village who lost their lives in the Great War and did not return, all of whom are commemorated on the Village War Memorial here in Church.
We especially remember Private WILLIAM HENRY ROSSINGTON who was killed in action on 15th April 1918 aged 21. William was a ringer at this Church.
We also remember Pioneer WILLIAM PEARSON GREEN who was killed in action on 28th June 1916 aged 25 and Private GEORGE HENRY COOKE who died of wounds on 20th December 1917 aged 29. William & George were both ringers at the neighbouring Church of St Wilfrid’s Metheringham.
We Will Remember Them!
Their Name Liveth For Evermore
When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Your Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today.
The treble of the six in this tower was given as a War Memorial in 1919 by the farmers of Blankney as a thanksoffering for Peace.
