The book "The
Great War Heroes of Bridlington" by Chris Bonnet and Mike Wilson,
provides biographical information on every person whose name appears on the
various War Memorials of that town. This book also provides photographs of
the memorials, with transcriptions of the names that appear on the memorials.
The book can be thoroughly recommended to anyone with even a passing interest
in the First World War, as the biographies are supplemented with a wealth
of photographs and information on aspects of the war.
We are extremely grateful to Chris Bonnet and Mike Wilson for use of the photographs,
and additional biographical information, from their book.

photograph of the War Memorial from Bridlington's St. John's Methodist Church,

Bridlington's Methodist Churches
The following information has been provided by Linda Ellis (<LindaEllis50@aol.com>);-
There were several churches in the Methodist Circuit in Bridlington which
have all now closed except St John's Burlington Methodist Church on St
John Street. The original building on St John Street was the Wesleyan
Church but is now St John's Burlington Methodist Church.
There are three War Memorials in St Johns Burlington Methodist
Church. These memorials are those from
1. St. John's Methodist Church, Bridlington
2. The United Methodist Church, Bridlington
3. St. John's Wesleyan Church, Bridlington.
The three memorials are shown below.
