St. Leonard's has now closed and is I believe now converted to flats.

I must apologise for this next set of pictures. Not only for the quality but for being unable to identify which memorial belongs to which church.

There are two First World War memorials in the church, and the person I asked was unaware of which one belonged to St. Nicholas, and which one had belonged to St. Leonard's Church, which has now closed.

I will post both here and hopefully at a later date can confirm which is which.

This first one, which I believe may be St. Nicholas (due to its location) is right in front of you as you enter the main doors.

The other evidence for this being the St. Nicholas Church memorial is that it mentions Alexander Shiels Elliot, who is commemorated on a stained glass window inside the church itself. The window has been posted in the individual section.

These pictures are terrible and do not do it justice.

The Second World War memorial is within the church itself and is situated to the right of the pulpit.
