Stone tablet with dark incised lettering and curved top. Coalville Times article on Friday August 6th, 1920. There was a large gathering of parishioners at Sutton Cheney Parish Church on Wednesday afternoon on the occasion of the unveiling of the memorial which had been placed in the church in honour of the men from the parish who fell in the war. The memorial consists of a clock in the turret which has two dials of five feet in diameter, and which weigh 1 ½ cwt each, and a stone tablet in the church recording the names of the men from the parish who lost their lives. The unveiling of the tablet was performed by Colonel Dugall Stuart, the owner of the Sutton Cheney estate, who also set the clock going. The service was conducted by the Rev. A. F. Robotham, assisted by Canon Bowers, of Market Bosworth, and the Rev. A. J. G. Pitley, of Barwell. The cost of the memorial was £130, which sum has been subscribed by the parishioners.
