Message from St. Margaret's Church:
WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM! We, at St Margaret's Church, Bowers Gifford with North Benfleet are trying to make contact with descendants and relatives of those men from the two communities who died during the “Great War” of 1914 – 1918, and especially those who are named on the memorial in the Church, Victor Payne Clifford Payne Charles Polley James Franklin Wilfred Harrison Wilfred Ockenden George Reed North Benfleet did not (and still does not) have a memorial and we know of several men from what was the Parish of All Saints, North Benfleet who did not return. We would like to find out as much as we can about them too. If you have any information about these men please contact Helen Chapman on hchapman@st-margarets-church.co.uk or phone 07532209796.
We are planning a small exhibition about them, and the communities from which they came, to be held in the Parish Church, Church Road, Bowers Gifford over the weekend of 19/20 July 2014. The Church will be open 11.00am till 4.00pm both days and entry will, of course, be free.
