| Description |
English: Designed by WD Caroë of Westminster. The chapel was completed in 1921, and dedicated in October of that year.
At the centre of the reredos is the figure of St George, holding in his left had a banner and in his right a sword with which he has slain the dragon beneath. The initials of the Sherwood Foresters are incorporated in the fretwork carving at the top of the reredos, and the badges of the 1/8th and 2/8th Battalions are in the panels to the sides. Above and to the sides of the figure of St George are the words: TO OUR GLORIOUS DEAD THESE DIED IN WAR THAT WE IN PEACE MIGHT LIVE; THEY GAVE THEIR BEST SO WE OUR BEST SHOULD GIVE. NOT FOR THEMSELVES, FOR JUSTICE, FREEDOM, RIGHT, THEY FOUGHT AND BID US FORWARD TO THE FIGHT. THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE The altar itself is carved of oak. The altar frontal was given by ladies of the county, supporters of the 8th Battalion. It bears the words: GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD and the design also includes four lifebelts, each bearing the name Bellenglise, commemorating a famous victory in which the 1/8th Battalion was engaged. The original frontal was replaced in 1968. |
