Location:
The War Memorial is outside the church on Accrington Road, Burnley
OS ref: 103 SD832327
IN HONOUR OF OUR MEN WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918
THEY DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE
THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE
"TO OUR GLORIOUS DEAD"
Holy Trinity Church closed in 1989 and was converted into flats. The cross (above) which is outside the church remained. Inside the church was a copper plaque bearing 80 names of those who had died. This plaque was removed and was found in a Wigan Scrap yard in 1994 and was subsequently given to St Matthews Church.
The following is a transcription of the plaque which I made from a fiche of MIs in Burnley Library.
TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN EVER GRATEFUL MEMORY OF
THE MEMBERS OF OUR CHURCH WHO DIED IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918
THIS TABLET AND THE CROSS IN THE CHURCHYARD ARE ERECTED.

Also inside the church was a wooden plaque with 34 names of men associated with St Oswalds Mission, many of the names are the same as those above.
St Oswalds Mission was in Ighten Rd (Whittlefield) and closed in 1980.
