Our appeal to raise funds for the restoration of the Farnhill Methodist Chapel WW1 Roll of Honour has been a great success and the target has been achieved.<\/p>\n
We are currently making final arrangements with a conservitor and the plan \u2013 still to be confirmed \u2013 is that the original Roll will be carefully removed from its decaying cardboard backing, cleaned, and if possible the names re-inked.\u00a0 A full-sized, high-resolution digital photograph will then be taken and the colours and original border pattern restored, based on similar Rolls held in archives.<\/p>\n
We hope that the digital replica will be ready to be unveiled at our exhibition, “From Farnhill to the Front”, to be held on 10th November – to coincide with the centenary of the Armistice.\u00a0 The replica, framed under UV-resistant glass, will then be put on permanent display in the Institute, where it can be viewed by the public.<\/p>\n
Many thanks are due to all the people who contributed to the appeal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
