If the memorial has been moved, please indicate why
November 2018 reported that an article on the memorial for the Autumn 2018 Withington Civic Society Magazine sought information
and a reply stated that one window from the Ladybarn chapel had been moved to Wihington Methodist Church, Wilmslow Road.
This proved not to be the memorial window. A former member of the Ladybarn congregation stated that the memorial had been given to a Miss
Platt of Withington, who was a relative of the Vincent Platt listed as a casualty. She had died some years ago and the fate of the window was unknown.
