Type of Memorial: Church Fabric / Fitting: Organ or organ part
WMR Reference Number: 33691
Description: Organ with associated plaque, both lost. The plaque is thought to have been our reference 33694, as it seems unlikely there were 2 WW1 names plaques in the church. See our reference 33690 for the modern memorial for this church.
Inscription: [ not known, although the Shields Daily News of 5 May 1924 gives the list of names]

Sponsor Type: public
Additional Cost/Sponsorship Information: There are various statements of cost for the memorial scheme, ranging between £1000 and £2000
Maintenance History: The organ was removed soon after WW2 (having reached life expiry), and replaced with choir stalls and a mobile organ. The plaque was fitted elsewhere in the church, but not recovered before the building was demolished. The memorial scheme also included general renovations to the church
