Villager Jenny Oates was inspired to research the names of those lost and told the congregation their stories during a special Remembrance Service, during which the memorial plaque was dedicated by the Rev Cilla Smith. The plaque was funded through an East Lindsey District Council grant and a private donation from the village.
