In 1989 a memorial was dedicated for RAF St. Eval to mark the 50th anniversary of RAF St Eval. The fund was started by Sqn Ldr Jim Greenaway who donated the first £1,000 in memory of all his colleagues who served with him at St Eval. Over £12,000 was raised through the efforts of both the local parishioners and the RAF. The memorial included a stained glass window in the Lady Chapel, a Book of Remembrance for air and ground personnel who lost their lives whilst serving at St Eval (IWM 115296) and additions to the squadron plaques on the walls of the church (IWM 9254).
