The World War I memorial in the garden of remembrance at New Street Methodist Church, in the town of Welshpool, Powys, in the Welsh Marches, is a marble tablet carved to imitate a scroll. It has an inscription and a list of names of those who fell in the Great War. It measures approximately 2ft by 1.5ft.
In March 2002 War Memorials Trust gave £100 towards work to clean and re-letter the memorial.
The plaque came to light in 2001 after an appeal in a local newspaper; it had originally hung in a church which was no longer in use, and after the move had ended up in a cupboard at the New Street church, not on public display.
The inscription on the memorial reads
Erected by this church and
congregation in proud and
loving memory of those of
their number who fell in
the Great War 1914 – 1918
Joseph Ithel J. Davies
William Herbert Evans

“Their memory hallowed
in the land they loved”
