The history of Stockbridge Parish Church and Stockbridge UF Church is not that straightforward.

This memorial was originally in a church that has now been demolished except for its tower and the land has been re-used as sheltered housing.

It was known as Stockbridge United Free Church at the time this memorial was made and in 1929 it became Stockbridge Parish Church.

However in 1975 the congregation elected to dissolve rather than merge and this memorial must have been passed to the then St Stephen's Church.

At some point fairly recently St Stephen's Church and St Bernard's Stockbridge merged to form a new Stockbridge Parish Church.

The main church is the old St Bernard's Church in Saxe Coburg Street and St Stephen's is now used as halls.

This is what is left of the former Stockbridge UF Church later Stockbridge Parish Church.





And this is the building where the memorial now hangs. This is not the current parish Church. This building is used as halls.
