Where they lie and where the lost are remembered
Note that memorials in parish churches normally only include members of the Church of England (although Headington Quarry Church is an exception). The nonconformist churches of Headington have no First World War memorials, but Headington Baptist Church in Old High Street had a War Memorial Organ installed by Messrs Martin & Coate of Oxford, with a wooden plaque giving the dedication (photographs in Oxford Journal Illustrated of 2 June 1920).
