Memorial Restoration, Holy Trinity

The Bedern Board is a unique piece of the history of York in that it remembers the boys of Bedern School who served, were captured, injured and killed during the Great War (1914 to 1918). These lads lived in what would have been one of the poorest areas of York. The memorial is a simple combination of vellum and ink, but the red ink which lets us know their fates is disappearing. The Board needs urgent professional attention to try and bring the red underlining back before their stories are lost.
