WORLD WAR II
WAR MEMORIAL
After much discussion within the parish, in 1920 it was decided that the war memorial for Bingham men who fell in the Great War should be in the parish church, unlike most villages which decided to have their memorials in public spaces. Thus, when it came to remembering those who died in the Second World War their memorial clearly would have to be installed in the same place. Thus it is that those who died in WW2 are remembered on two panels added to the original chancel screen. In 1992 the Hanging Cross was put in place to enhance the memory of to those who gave their lives in the Second World War. The idea was initiated by the Bingham Branch of the Royal British Legion.
