Stithians soldier still remembered in church

August 1, 2022 by Susan Roberts Leave a Comment

It was very good to call in at the church in Stithians, west Cornwall, today and see a board we created eight years ago now – in 2016 when we were working on remembering World War One locally. Rhiannon Stevenson helped research the background of Joseph Martyn, buried in the graveyard, who died of wounds in Nottingham after being wounded on the Western Front.

So many years afterwards – where has the time gone?! – it’s good to see the board we worked on , with Rhiannon’s help, on display in the church.
