Kenilworth King's Messengers Plaque
St. Nicholas Church, Abbey Fields, Kenilworth CV8 1LY

THIS BABTISTRY WAS DEDICATED IN MEMORY OF
KINGS [GODS] MESSENGERS
FROM THE PARISH OF KENILORTH
WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTY
IN THE GREAT EUROPEAN WAR

CYRIL WILLIAM CARTER REGINALD DENNIS CLIVE NORMAN JOHN WARD DUDLEY NEVILLE WHITE
       
R.I.P

Our thanks to local Kenilworth Historian, Susan Tall, for the following information. These men were not official King's Messengers but in the fact the word King refers to God not the Monarch of that time. They were the childrens’ department of the SPG (Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts).  Here in Kenilworth at St Nicholas Church they organised concerts etc to raise money. The boys made scrapbooks and the girls dressed dolls to send to children in hospitals abroad.  They were called the King’s Messengers and it seems to have been very much a middle class group compared to the church Sunday School which was almost all working class children.
