Marlowes Methodist Church War Memorial, Hemel Hempstead (*1)
Pre War
Walter Thomas Brinklow was born on 22 April 1898 in Hemel Hempstead, the son of Elizabeth Brinklow, and baptised in Hemel Hempstead on 15 March 1899.
On the 1901 Census he was living with his grandparents, William and Susan Brinklow, at 19 Piccotts End Lane, Hemel Hempstead. Also living there was his mother and her brother George.
His mother married Charles Hill in 1903 and on the 1911 Census Walter was living with his stepfather, mother and three half siblings, at 20 Austins Place, Hemel Hempstead.
Additional Information
*1 Marlowes Methodist Church was one of the five churches that merged in 2006 to form Hemel Hempstead Methodist Church. The Marlowes Methodist Church building was built in 1890 and used regularly from then until 2006 and then again as the main Hemel Hempstead Methodist Church building from May 2012 until it finally closed in March 2014. The war memorial was removed from the building before demolition and passed to the local British Legion. The war memorial is unusual in that it names those who returned safely as well as those who died.
