Another Photograph of Bridge, this one is particularly dear to me as it is around the corner from where I live.
Simon Knott (who does the excellent Suffolk Churches website) has also transcribed the plaques.
There is one correction, later on Simon says that he thinks that the pentecostalist church next door used to be St. Peter’s parish rooms, but I was told by Father Leeder at St. Pancras that this was actually an outstation of St. Pancras’s when St Pancras covered most of Bridge Ward. It may have been both at different times.
