LEST WE FORGET

Nick Ledingham, Committee member of the Liverpool Society of Chartered Accountants presenting the plaques to the Rev. Cannon Dr Crispin Pailing

Readers of Chartered ONE will recall that in our 150th anniversary commemorative issue there was an article about the two LSCA war memorial plaques that had for many years been left to gather dust in our storage facility. It was explained in that article that Nick Ledingham had arranged for the plaques to be presented to Liverpool Parish Church so that they would have a permanent and very appropriate home alongside the memorial plaques from other Liverpool Institutions and professional bodies.

It was the intention that the two plaques would formally be presented to Liverpool Parish Church as part of the 150th anniversary Civic Service that was planned on 13 March 2020.

Of course the dreaded Covid interrupted the Society’s plans for the Civic Service and the Civic Reception at the Town Hall.

However the plaques were recently formally presented to Liverpool Parish Church and are now in their rightful place, adjacent to the Liverpool Stock Exchange war memorial.
