Additional Notes
Additional general notes on the memorial
The house only became a Franciscan friary in the 1960's.

The Scholefields were relucatant to have their house requisitioned during the war so they opened it as a club for Officers only. In the Friary there are several photographs in a frame taken at this time.

The translation of the Latin inscription is "Glory is the reward for victory"
