Hi there,
I was most interested to read your post about the war memorial inscription in St George's Church.
My great uncle Ernest Townsend was killed in action in 1918, he lived in Lower Tower Street.
I wonder if his name appears on the memorial.
Unfortunately I am unable to open the thumbnails. I wonder if you would be kind enough to repost them.
Many thanks

Just referring back to macqueen's post - I hate to bust a family myth, but I don't think St George's ever had bells. There are none mentioned in the Victoria County History - https://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22976 - and they'd be mentioned in Mike Chester's Warwickshire Bells website as being a lost ring - https://www.warksbells.co.uk/lost.htm - and they're not there. Bells from demolished churches are generally sold on and often locally, but I can't find any reference to St George's bells anywhere.
