{On a metal frieze, probably brass, a quote from John 10:10.}
"That they might have life"
{On the stone below:}
Hallowed in Christ be the memory of all the gallant men and women who fell in the Great War for the freedom of the world. They shall yet stand before the throne an exceeding great army and in that last muster shall be found these our own beloved.

Site: St Bartholomew's Church Gatehouse (2 memorials)
EC1, West Smithfield, St Bartholomew's church
The restoration of this church was the first major work by Aston Webb. His brother, Edward, was churchwarden at the time. Webb and colleagues had the WW1 memorial installed, which includes the name of his son, Philip.

In the 1940s this gatehouse served as a, very small, rectory for the church.
