TUPSLEY REMEMBERS As always Tupsley Cross had a lovely display of poppies to remember all those who have died in battle. Tupsley Cross records the names of 48 people who died in the 1st World War (1914 – 1918) and the stone vase alongside records the 7 people from Tupsley who died in the 2nd World War (1939 – 1945). The cross was provided by Retired Lieutenant Henry Hewat and his wife, who lived at The Elms, Aylestone Hill with their daughter Geraldine. He lived there until he died in 1922, is buried in St. Paul’s Churchyard, and was a Churchwarden. Henry Hewat and his wife dedicated the cross to:Their son Anthony Morris Hewat who was killed on 8th September 1914.
Their nephew George Hewat was killed on 10th March 1915 aged 19. Their son in law , Colin John Maclaverty (husband of Geraldine Hewat) , was killed on 18th September 1916 These family names together with Edward Archibald Hume (relationship unknown) are on the metal plaque on the side of the memorial. It would appear that this old photograph was taken when the memorial was dedicated, perhaps on 11th November 1919. The highest clergyman alongside the cross is the Dean of Hereford with the vicar of Tupsley, Revd. Ledger, on his right. Revd. Ledger’s son, Raymond Ledger, is sadly one of the 48 who died.
