Weekly Remembrance Services
Wednesdays at 5pm
Short (approx 1/4 hour) services every Wednesday at 5pm to remember each individual who made the ultimate sacrifice in the week of the 100th anniversary of their death. Everyone is welcome and there is the chance to light a candle, lay a wreath or read the name of your relative.
Those remembered each week are shown below and everyone is welcome to come and ask for other names to be included in our remembrance. These additional names need not be from Shropshire or from WW1, anyone who you would like to ensure is commemorated can be included in any of our weekly services.
