Church of St. Michael, Rendham
The Rendham Congregational church War Memorial The memorial is now located in the parish church of St. Michael. This memorial bears 24 names of men lost in WW1 whereas the parish church memorial has only four names. A possible explanation for the great difference in numbers was perhaps that the rector at the time would not permit the names of men on the church memorial who did not regularly attend the church, whereas the Congregationalist minister was more sympathetic. Not an uncommon occurrence.
