The War Memorial
The War Memorial consists of wooden panelling in the Anson Chapel of St Chrysostom's, and was made by George Macfarlane and Sons of Manchester, to the design of P A Robson, architect of Manchester. and the plaques were the work of Miss E Attwood. A granite slab was placed outside the main West door of the church ‘in order that adequate indication of the Memorial might be made.’
The Memorial was completed in 1923 and was unveiled and dedicated on Sunday May 13th. At 11am the Dean of Manchester preached, and the memorial was unveiled by Lieut-Colonel G. B. Hurst K.C., M.P. At 3.15pm a ‘Special Masonic Service’ was held, conducted by the Archdeacon of Manchester and Rev. A. F. Aldis.
Two years later two additional windows, on the south and west walls were placed in the Anson chapel. They were the gift of J. S. Williamson, and are the work of the Manchester stained glass window designer Walter J. Pearce. Their design complements the War Memorial. They were dedicated on November 15th 1925 by Revd G. H. Woolley, V. C., M.C. and unveiled by Col. Sir Thomas Blatherwick, D.S.O. of the 6th Battalion, the Manchester Regiment.
Following the Second World War it was decided to incorporate the names of those who died in that war in two panels on either side of the existing five panels of the war memorial.
