St Mark's Church in Friday Bridge is now home to the Coldham World War II plaque which was previously on display in St Ethelreda's Church in Coldham. The Church stands on the main road in the village. The plaque is constructed of stone.
In 2000 St Ethelreda's was made redundant and a new home for the 3 plaques on display in the Church needed to be found. They were moved to St Mark's Church in the neighbouring village of Friday Bridge. War Memorials Trust gave a grant of £100 towards the costs of moving the memorials and was involved in encouraging the work to take place through one of its Regional Volunteers.
The memorials were re-dedicated on Remembrance Sunday 9th November 2003.
The Coldham World War II memorial records 3 dead of that conflict. The other two memorials moved were Chain Bridge Chapel (WM186) and the Coldham World War I plaque (WM3251).
