Abergele war memorial

In St Michael’s Churchyard stands a Celtic cross in memory of local people who died in the First and Second World Wars.

To discover who they were, choose a category below. Where shown, click this icon for more details. Extra page icon

The memorial omits the names of many local men from the area, possibly because they did not worship at the church. We have indicated in our lists those who are named at the town hall but not in the churchyard.
