Worcester Cathedral Bell Ringers Memorial Window

Erected by the Diocesan Bell Ringers Association in memory of their

Comrades who gave their lives in the Great War 1914 – 1919

I would suggest cross-referencing this with the information given on the Central Council for Church Bell Ringers (CCCBR) roll of honour for members of the Worcester Diocesan Association http://www.cccbr.org...ciation&warID=1 - nb they will not all have been regular ringers at the cathedral, but may have rung at any church in the Diocese of Worcester. I haven't worked out the numbers, men could also be listed under eg Dudley and Districts Association, or non-territorial associations such as the College Youths or Cumberland Youths; or University associations. The CCCBR list also indicates with which church the man was principally associated, which helps pin them down

[memorialhunter]

Hi David

Had a look at the link, tried to find information on A Crouch, no luck so far, but I will keep the link as I more to do.

Once again thanks for the link

Crouch is on the choristers' memorial, not the ringers' memorial isn't he?
