North Coates, and the Church had the Badges and Roll of Honour on the wall behind the alter. I recently have been making inquiries as to what happened to the Roll of Honour after the closure of R.A.F. North Coates, and discovered that they are on display at Cleethorpes Town Hall. However, in addition to my discovery, I have been informed that a copy of the Roll may be in St Nicholas Parish Church, can you please confirm if this is correct. I live in Watford in Hertfordshire, therefore, I have been unable to visit and check for myself. Thank you for reading my message. Atthur In 1950-1952 I was stationed at R.A.F.

I've had a couple or more visits and looked for it twice, Arthur Mee mentions it in his 1949 book although subsequently Pevsner doesn't (though they may not have included it anyway) My presumption is that's it's been removed/moved Laura. Those closest associated with the church should know something I'd have thought - does anybody out there know anything ? Best Rod Laura,

It contains a notice stating: The profits on this work are devoted to the North Coates School Building Fund. The volume contains many anglican chants and short works among others by well-known victorian composers such as Stainer, Dykes, Elvey, Chipp, Spark and Ouseley The hymn tune "North Coates" (by Timothy Richard Matthew 1826-1910) is of course well-known for the words "O my saviour lifted"( W W How), and appears in many hymn books.
