Not listed on UKNIWM.
This memorial was originally inside Tongland Parish Church at OS Map Ref: NX 698 539
I believe that Tongland church was last used for worship in the 1940s and the roof was removed and building blocked up for safety in 1970s.
This memorial and the WW1 plaque were moved at sometime to Ringford Village hall (OS Map Ref NX 689 578). It is possible that they had an interim stay at Twynholm church, but I have not been able to confirm one way or the other.
Eleven of the names on this memorial are exactly the same as on Ringford civic memorial, the extra name being Thomas Clark.
