Wardsend was the cemetery for St. Philip's Church from the 21st June 1857. St Philip's used to stand at the junction of Infirmary Rd and Penistone Rd near the Globe Works. The church and the Globe Works (bottom right in the second photo) can be seen in this 1939 aerial photo from Britain from Above.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Remembrance Service. Special thanks to the Y9 students from Parkwood Academy who worked with Meghan Tipping (Rooted in Talk) and staff from the school to develop and lead the service. They were a credit to the school and to themselves.

It will be difficult to park near the cemetery tomorrow morning but Owlerton Stadium have very kindly offered free parking to those attending the service. Please let them know that's where you're going.
Allow time to walk down to the cemetery (about 8 minutes).
You may want to bring a brolly!

A lovely gathering for Remembrance Sunday today at the Cross of Sacrifice. Our chair gave a few words of intro, a poem was read & wreathes were then laid at the Cross followed by the two minute silence.
There was a short tour of the War Graves after.

It's about time we had quiet or silent fireworks don't you think? The poor wildlife like our fox friends have to run the gauntlet every night for about a week. I'm sure they must get accustomed to an extent but it doesn't stop them getting spooked by them.

I forgot to take a team photo at our volunteer session so here's a last minute half-team photo! Thanks everyone
Tasks included continuing to clear the front bank, removing ivy from memorials and litter picking.
We were very lucky with the weather. Wardsend always looks lovely in the Autumn sunshine.

In 2020, forty years after the CWGC memorials were removed, in a joint project with Wates Living Space, Victoria Cross Trust and the Royal British Legion, the Friends of Wardsend Cemetery found and marked the 16 graves with wooden crosses inspired by the temporary markers widely used in WW1.

Sharing the profile of Private Herbert Jubb yesterday got me thinking about the famous and very moving painting 'Gassed' by John Singer Sargent.
On the IWM website there is a page and short film which tells you about its history, significance and restoration in 2023. www.iwm.org.uk/gassed-by-jo...
