Guest akademik Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hi there, 'Trefcon' I'm still foraging for works by Robertson & Russell, stained glass or 'morsatile' (or other); see the Robertson & Russell topic on this forum. It looks to me as if the two panels in St Stephen's Church, which as you indicate Canon Odom indeed calls "morsatile", are very much of the same kind as the morsatile WW1 memorials in Castle St post office and in Wadsley parish church. In the St Stephen's pix you publish, there does not seem to be any attribution to Robertson & Russell though. If I am not mistaken, the pix of the St Stephen's morsatile tablets are not included in http://www.sheffieldsoldierww1.co.uk/Memorial/Memorials.html I wonder whether this is because it is still uncertain whether these tablets 'belong' to St Stephen's or to St Anne's? I note that the St Stephen's tablets say, TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN SACRED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 -1918 rather than what you cite from Canon Odom, " ‘In sacred memory of the men of S. Anne’s parish who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War, 1914-19". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin-Bacon Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Does anyone know what has happened to the Sheffield Gas Co. war memorial? It was located at Sheffield Gas Works office on Commercial Street, but was moved to the EMGAS service centre on Upwell Street, which was demolished some years ago. The site is under redevelopment now. http://www.ukniwm.org.uk/ reference for the memorial is UKNIWM Ref: 27833 Is this the same memorial at British Gas, Transco House mentioned in a post by Sheffield History Admin on 20 January 2011 - 02:37 PM ?

RichardS Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 OK Stuart, cheers. Its not a personal surname thing or anything like that, its just unusual and caught my eye and maybe might make a bit of interesting research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike142sl Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Fulwood War Memorial. I noticed today that the name DANCE is engraved on the cap stone of the pillar on the right of the Fulwood memorial. Not showing in this picture which is recent, so the name must be very recent. Does anyone know who this might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it wasn't there in the image used in the previous post, a picture that is fairly recent as it includes the drop kerb and knobly flag stones for those with visual impairments next to the bus stop.

jhcrawshaw Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hi Stuart, Thank you so much for that! I've just visited the website and downloaded the Wadsley Memorial picture. Never seen this website before so now may start looking through for my CRAWSHAW rellies that died in the Great War.

When I was looking for Private Hanforth's grave from the grave reference I enquired at the church office and they put me in touch with the stonemason who looks after the churchyard memorials. Perhaps he might be the person to ask about any alterations/additions, even though the memorial isn't in the churchyard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History dude Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 High quality photos of the War memorial at Holinsend part of Gleadless Christ Church grounds. Taken yesterday (23 May). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Christ Church, Heeley. The Roll of Honour was unveiled on 4th March 1920 by Battery Sergeant Major J.C. Raynes VC. From Canon Odoms Memorials of Sheffield 'The War Memorial consists of a large bronze tablet, on an oak base, on which are the names of 334 'men from the parish of Heeley who laid down their lives in the Great War.' The cost was £177. On a pillar on the north side of the nave is a brass tablet 'To the memory of Reginald Pryce Jones, 2nd Lieut, York and Lancaster Rgt, Killed in action, Flanders, Oct. 19, 1917, aged 23 years. 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.' (Sweet and seemly is it to die for one's fatherland.' – Horace.) (SteveHB) Other memorials to those who died of wounds are a brass cross above the communion table to Lieut. W.F. Balcher, given by his mother; and a brass alms dish, in memory of Sergeant Thomas Thompson, the gift of his mother.' (no image as yet) J C Raynes VC, Royal Field Artillery, Sheffield.
