Wells salutes its heroes: vicar's WW2 list goes digital 80 years later
By Peter Trueman 14th Nov 2025
At the start of World War 2, the vicar of St Cuthbert's Church, Rev. Preb. E. B. Cook, decided to keep a record of the men and women of Wells who went off to join the forces.
There are 232 people in his list and details include name, unit and address for each person.
As part of its celebration of the 80th anniversary of the end of WW2, the Wells & Mendip Museum have published a transcription of this list on its website (a link to the webpage in given below).
A separate list of 57 service men and women, stored with the first, has also been transcribed and is available on the same webpage.
They can be found on the museum's webpage at St Cuthbert's WW2 Roll of Honour | Wells Museum - Main
