History

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th May, 1928: The banner was the central feature of a ceremony at Stonebroom. The ceremony began at the Stonebroom Miners' Welfare grounds where the banner was presented to the Stonebroom and District Branch of the British Legion by the local Women's Section and it was then dedicated and blessed by Rev W. Parker Stamper, Vicar of Stonebroom. It was then paraded to the war memorial at St Peter's Church where it was formally handed over to Mr E Edwards and Mr W Daybell, churchwardens, to be deposited in the church. 2nd September, 2016: Enquiries were made, and a search conducted in the church by Roy Branson but no information was available about the whereabouts or loss of the banner.. |
