St Matthew’s Church, WW1 Memorial

St Matthews Church, Boulevard, Hull. Built in 1870, with a landmark spire. The Church served the Community for over 150 years, before closing in 2014.

St Matthew’s Church Memorial, is one of Hull’s finest War Memorials. The community paid for a magnificent West Window, and two marble tablets, which record 139 men from St Matthew’s, who were killed in the 1914-1918 Great War.

St Matthew’s Church West window, a Soldier and Sailor, (Centre) flanked by the Virgin Mary (to the left) and Mary Magdalene (to the right) at the Crucifixion. Behind each is a female companion acknowledging the suffering, of all those who watched their loved ones go off to war. Placing the servicemen in place of the Crucifixion pays tribute to the ultimate sacrifice made by so many during the Great War.

The West Window Memorial is a series of 46 beautiful, stained glass, windows, measuring approximately 6.5 m high and 3.5 m wide overall. It was made by John Hardman and Company of Birmingham and unveiled and dedicated by the Bishop of Hull, on 4 July 1922. It is one of the finest stained glass memorials of the WW1 and shows the time, effort and expense that the community went to honour their war dead. An inscription stone on the outside wall reads “The window above is in memory of our dead through whom we live”.

The church was sold and re purposed in 2018. In 2019, the West Window was restored to a pristine condition.  https://www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/226557

The 139 names are recorded, in alphabetical order, on two marble tablets. They include 49 men who died during WW1, with the East Yorkshire Regiment, including 23 “Hull Pals”. Fifteen men served with other Yorkshire Regiments. There are also two Royal Marines, seven Artillery men, two Cavalry men, a machine gunner, a Tank Driver and a Royal Flying Corps pilot. Two men served with the Coldstream Guards, five with the Durham Light Infantry. There are also Fusiliers, Riflemen and Royal Engineers. Six men on the memorial were Officers and three were Sergeants. Another 22 men are Sailors, including five Ship Skippers and two Chief Engineers, who were all lost at sea.

The two men not identified on the Memorial are C.H. Kidby and E. Walton.

St Matthews casualties increased as war progressed. Five men, died in 1914; Nineteen, died in 1915, Thirty Five, died in 1916; Forty Three, died in 1917; Thirty Three, died in 1918 and two men died in 1919. Three men from the 10th East Yorkshires and all neighbours at Bean Street, died together, on the same day, on the 4th June 1916. Another two men died on the opening day of the Somme Battle. Six men died on 13th November 1916, when the Hull Pals attacked Serre. Four men died on 3rd May 1917, when the Hull Pals, attacked Oppy Wood.

The men are commemorated mostly in France and Belgium. One man is buried in Scotland, five at Gallipoli, others are buried in Egypt. Malta, Germany, Melbourne, Australia and St Johannesburg, South Africa. Eight men are buried in Hull. 66 men have no known grave and are commemorated on Naval memorials  at Tower Hill, London, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Chatham. Others are remembered on the Memorials to the missing, at Ypres, Loos, Arras, Cambrai and the Somme. All the St Matthews’ men served in the Britain forces, apart from two, who fought with the Canadian and South African army.

There are 21 Teenagers on the Memorial. The youngest to die was aged 18. The oldest was 52. The average age of all men killed on the memorial was 27 years old. The average age of Merchant seamen, lost at sea, was 37.

The first man to die, was Joseph Williams, a Royal Navy Signaller, on HMS Cressey. He died on the 22nd September 1914, aged 31. His brother in law, James Wighton, was the third man lost. He drowned with HMS “Good Hope”, on 1st November 1914, aged 28.

There are ten sets of brothers on the Memorial, that died during the First World War. These are from the Anderson, Bulson, Dymock, Johnson, Lill, Monday, Ransom, and Swift families. There are also three Walker brothers, from 343 Anlaby Road, all killed in 1918 and three Ellis brothers, from 344, Boulevard who were all lost at sea. There are also a father and son, both called Thomas Ashley, who died at sea, on different ships and two Brother in Laws.

Two men were awarded the Military Medal for bravery (not shown on the memorial).

The men on the Memorial came mostly from the Boulevard and surrounding area, like Parrott Street, Tomlinson Street, Selby Street, Airlie Street, Ena Street and Gordon Street. While other Streets, such as Regent Street and Bean Street, were lost to post war reconstruction and slum clearance, the Church and many of the houses, where these men lived still remain from the First World war.

Below is a list of the 139 men recorded on St Matthew’s WW1 Memorial. Sixty three of the men on the memorial, were photographed in the local newspapers.
