Trinity Methodist Church was demolished in the 1960s, but the memorial cross, a 20 foot Gothic cross made of red granite, still stands on the Compton Road at the junction with Larches Lane, and will soon be having some restoration work done, thanks to local community groups fundraising efforts.
The memorial brass listing all the local men who served, is now kept in the Wednesfield Royal British Legion Club, Vicarage Road, Wednesfield, Wolverhampton.
The panel on the memorial cross lists the following names:
Bannister, Marmaduke Wellesley
Beckett, William
Botwood, Thomas
Frith, Harold
Hill, Stephen
Hodson, Edward
Joliffe, Hylton
Price, Thomas
Reade, Reginald William
Stirling, Alan
