Does anyone have a photograph of the Jameson Raider Harry White's memorial in this church?

He served in the Boer War, was awarded the DSO and died in 1903. Gildea included a small black and white photograph of the memorial in his book 'In Remembrance: South Africa' (1911).

Best wishes,

Justin

Not I. The United Kingdom Inventory of War Memorials doesn't have it recorded, only a WW1 roll of honour in the church.

The church itself is no longer in use and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust so I assume it can be accessed by visitors, either the door will be unlocked during the day or a keyholder will live nearby.

Justin, a couple of weeks ago I was looking at the possibility of going to Holdenby sometime; I'm hoping to go to Bedford for a couple of days early next year, so, if I do, I'll try to squeeze in a free morning and get a bus up to near Holdenby.
