Gail, a member of theWW1 Group has recently published her book on St Mathews, Bankfoot: The Men Who Served. This book outlines how the Church went about remembering it’s parishiners who served in WW1. It includes a short biography on each man who served, along with a picture.

This inspiring work helps to preserve the church parishiners names that, without this work, their contributions would fade away forever. It preserves memories of a community whose men served valiently and also gives a voice to the memories of the names mentioned. This book is a reminder of the freedoms we have today that were shaped by the names in this book.
