War Memorials
Inside and outside All Saints, memorials commemorate those from Winterton who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.
The War Memorial Booklet
In 2010 we prepared a booklet with information about those named on our war memorials. A printed copy is available for public view in our church, and an electronic version is available below — please bear in mind that it is a very large PDF file, so it may take several minutes to download. It contains many details about three of the Winterton men who died in the First World War. If you have access to further information which we might add to this booklet, please contact the Vicar or churchwardens.

Memorials Inside the Church
There are two plaques inside the church, on the wall of the North Aisle, commemorating those lost in the First and Second World Wars (plaques on the left and right respectively).
Memorial for the First World War
Memorial for the Second World War, 1939–1945
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
Town War Memorial
The town war memorial is located immediately outside the east window of the Chancel. There are three plaques fixed to the base plinth.
1914–1918 and 1939–1945 — “These died in war that we at peace might live”
we remember them
Further Names, 1914–1918

For further details about those from Winterton who were lost in these two World Wars, see the record on the Roll of Honour website.
While the lists on the plaques inside the church and on the town war memorial for the Second World War are identical, the two lists for the First World War are not. The plaque in church lists 21 names, including one name not on the town plaque. There are 25 names on the town plaque, including five not listed inside the church. However, in reality there are only four names not listed inside the church, since one person is listed under different family names on the two memorials.
