There is a large war memorial in the church but there is one name missing from it than is on this hand-written Roll of Honour - Mildred Leeper, the lady whose death had brought me to the church in the first place.
There is a further Roll of Honour listing those from the parish who served and survived.
I'm having to be a bit more disciplined with myself with the names recorded on Memorials outside Norfolk - I've got a significant backlog of pictures taken and not yet researched.
However, I can't post these names without finding out a little more - see the comments below where I've sorted the names into alphabetical order.

The James J. and Josephine Goodwin Residence, now the U.S. Trust Company, also known as 9-11 West 54th Street, was designed in the Georgian style by William Mead and Charles McKim of McKim, Mead & White in 1896-98. The wealthy businessman James Junius Goodwin, a cousin and business partner of J.P. Morgan, was responsible for comissioning this Conlonial Revival residence. Modeled on Charles Bulfinch's Third Harrison Gray Otis House in Boston, this elegant brick structure was planned as a double house; the Goodwins resided in the larger unit at #11 from 1898 to 1944. The ownership changed hands in 1945, and it became the Rhodes School until 1979. The United States Trust Company purchased the building in 1980, at which point it underwent an award-winning restoration and conversion into a private banking office.
The James J. and Josephine Goodwin Residence was designated a landmark by the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1981.
