Paper Roll of Honour with handwritten names in red and black, in large lockable oak frame bearing carved inscriptions and crest. Possibly constructed in 1958, certainly made when the school was called Loughborough College and located in the town. It is now located in the library after restoration in 2011 and it was unveiled on 9 November 2011. A small metal commemorative plaque will be mounted on a wooden backboard beneath it (image linked above). School memorials should be presumed inaccessible.
