Remember before God the souls of the masters and old boys of the Vicarage Street Church School Nuneaton who fell in the Great War 1914-1918. May they rest in peace. (Names). The memorial was removed to the churchyard and restored in 1985, rededicated to the fallen of the 1939-1945 war and since from this community. They are at peace now. Lord make us instruments of your peace.
