This memorial is on permanent display at St Andrew's Church - The Shared Church in Keighley.
It was brought to this church sometime after St Paul's Church was demolished in the 1970s.
St Paul's Church was situated on Parkwood Street in Keighley and the men named on the memorial are all from the surrounding area.
The inscription reads:

Hotston, Wilfred
Lowndes, Charles
Lowndes, Sam

These men all lived very near to St Paul's Church on Parkwood Street and Sam Lowndes was actually a sidesman at the church before he was killed in the war. This fact is detailed in the St Mary's Church vestry minutes from some months before this memorial was created.
St Paul's Church on Parkwood Road, was demolished around 1972.
