History

27th July, 1922: The memorial was unveiled by Sir Francis Burdett, Bart and dedicated by the vicar.

Unknown date: The name of J. L. Malpass is not included in the press report of the unveiling, is a different style, and may have been added later.

29th July, 2008: The memorial was surveyed by Roy Branson and Alan Willmot. There was some spalling on the tablet face and the left bracket had been broken off some years previously.

Comments

An identical memorial was provided at Milton at the same time.

According to a local resident, who attended the chapel as a child, it was closed and sold to a private owner “many years ago”.

The building is also reported to have been a school.

Ingleby Foremarke and Milton are three adjacent small villages near Repton. Formarke is now usually spelt Foremark.
