St Andrew, Rushmere St Andrew, Ipswich

In Loving Memory of
Leading Wireman
William Thomas Francis
Aged 26 Years
Who was lost on HMS Invincible
in the Battle of Jutland
31st May 1916.
Also took part in the Falkland
Isles battle 8th December 1914.

William Thomas Francis was the son of William and Gertrude Melnotte Francis, of I03, Rushmere Rd, Ipswich. He is also remembered on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.

The medieval parish church of Rushmere St Andrew sits in the northern suburbs of the town of Ipswich, not far from open countryside. Although the tower is essentially 15th century, the rest of the building is from two more recent centuries. First of all, Edward Hakewill rebuilt the nave, chancel and north aisle in 1861. Then, the church was spectacularly extended eastwards in 1968 by the architect George Pace. The altar remains in its original position, so that the seats in Pace's extension face westwards. It is the only Anglican church in Suffolk with a central altar.
