The Wilmington Memorial was on the wall of St Saviour's
Chuch.
Subjected to vandalism, it was moved inside the church
in the early 1950's.
When that church was demolished, this memorial, along
with the
similar one for Stoneferry, were both taken to Sutton,
their former parish area.
Both memorials were released to the Museums Service in
c.1996 for a special exhibition, and are now (2022) in
the safe care of the Hull Streetlife Museum.
The names of the men who fell in the war were later
added, along
with Stoneferry's and St Mark's in The Groves, to new
marble plaques
added to the base of the existing war memorial at
Sutton.
All these three areas, Wilmington, Stoneferry and St
Mark's were part of the historic Sutton parish for very
nearly 600 years, from the 1300s to the 1880s.
Hence why the safe-keeping of the memory of these men
and their families
is now willingly taken care of in Sutton ... for there
is nowhere else.
There is a higher quality copy of the photo above,
although slightly damaged, showing most of the names on
this memorial, listing ALL the men who served, as well
as those killed and wounded, which can be viewed inside
the museum on Fridays on a laptop screen.
Additionally, there is this enlargable image of the new
plaque listing the Wilmington men as an addition onto
the new St Mark's in the Groves plaque. We hope we
have all of them, but still suspect there will be
discrepancies between the lists we have and the details
families hold.

Details of all men killed
whilst serving their country
can be viewed on the
Commonwealth
War
Graves Commission Website
(opens in a new window)
The Civilian War Dead Index for WW II
(also opens in a new window)
The above link takes you to another website
and pages that list all the
civilian wartime casualties of enemy action
in Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire.
You'll have no difficulty in spotting the Hull ones . .
sadly, they are easily the more numerous.
There are 14 CWGC War Graves
within
Sutton churchyard itself, and another 5 family graves
or
memorials of men from both wars, a total of 19.
They are mainly of men from other parts of the UK,
and one of an RAF pilot from Cooma, NSW, Australia.
"Their
names liveth for evermore . . ."
