Christ Church Second World War Memorial Gate, Dungog Middle Image Image Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background This timber lychgate with tiled roof stands at the entrance to Dungog's Christ Church. A dedication plaque is attached to the right support post and an honour roll for the Second World War is attached to the left post. A Latin cross surmounts the structure. The plans were drawn by Mr R. Lindsay Little of Sydney. It follows an Old English design and was similar to a gate erected as a First World War memorial at the Parish Church in Boorowa. The specifications were prepared by Mr R. Howard of Dungog and Mr J. Egan also of Dungog was the builder. The marble tablets were provided by Messrs J.J. Edstein and Co. of Raymond Terrace. A longer term plan was also to have a pathway to the west end of the church where a tower was to be erected with porches, belfry and clock (Dungog Chronicle, 27 January 1951). The dedication service took place on 11 March 1951. A large audience attended the service, conducted by the Rector Reverend A.W. Moore. A guard of honour composed of members of the Dungog R.S.A. and A.I.LA sub-Branch flanked the memorial, before the Bishop blessed and dedicated it. When reported in the Dungog Chronicle, 14 March 1951 it was stated that the parishioners had subscribed the total cost of the memorial amounting to more than 200 pounds. Inscription Left plaque A. M.
