Community_news
Visitors to the churchyard can now view a new map displaying the locations of fallen service personnel CWGC graves and family memorials within the graveyard.

It was unveiled on Wednesday 6th July by members of Ordsall Primary School Council, and in the presence of representatives from Retford Lions, Rotary, the Royal British Legion, Commonwealth War Graves Commission, local Councillors, churchyard volunteers, church members and service veterans.

The map in its display case is located just off the public footpath, near the approach to the Ordsall War Memorial.

The children placed cast iron poppies and wooden crosses on the graves, and then laid a wreath at the War Memorial. They then enjoyed refreshments inside church and were introduced to 'Doug the Pug' by Revd. Alex!
