The 1914-1918 Roll of Honour of St Barnabas Church (in Temple Road, Epsom) bears the names of 54 local men who lost their lives fighting for God, King and Country during the Great War. It is paper based, measures about 43 by 26 centimetres, and was previously held in a frame. The Roll was produced by Phyllis Ethel Chipperfield, an artist whose father was a doctor practising medicine in Epsom. Phyllis is buried in grave A303A Epsom Cemetery, with her parents.
The Church’s 1939-1945 Roll of Honour bears the names of 16 local men who lost their lives fighting for God, King and Country during the Second World War. Like the 1914-1918 Roll of Honour it is paper based, and was also previously held in a frame.
In December 1996 the Vicar and Parochial Church Council deposited both Rolls of Honour in the Surrey History Centre (SHC), Woking. They can be seen at the SHC by quoting reference numbers 6360/11/1 and 6360/11/2.
On 2 November 2014, in order to recognise that men from the St. Barnabas congregation had fought and died in the two World Wars, the Bishop of Dorking unveiled a special wooden cabinet that houses facsimiles of the Rolls of Honour along with biographies of all the fallen.
