This memorial is on the wall of the hall by the church. It refers to "This school" but does not name it. It was Upton National School and was originally where the Magistrates Court stands today Image In fact when the school was demolished the court building was built on the old foundations. The war memorial was later relocated to the external wall of the parish hall in 1956. The names are all in alphabetical order except for the addition of Alford, C at the end of the first column, Bowden, CJ, Blackler, J, and Palmer, P. As Alford and Palmer were clearly afterthoughts, I wonder why their names have not been repainted. And was Blackler's name added, and then removed? It has not been repainted, although Bowden's has. My thanks to fellow Geograph-er JohnC who added the information about the school and the court building.
