Additional Notes
Additional general notes on the memorial
Henry Basham Dickinson was High Sheriff of Essex and died at Chappel railway station on 20th September 1918. He appears to have earlier been a Second Lieutenant in the Loyal Suffolk Regiment. He left £67,229 gross and £35, 236 net so seems possible he left a bequest for the window.
