The Memorials
We have been unable to ascertain which memorials, if any, remain within the former church, but records exist which show that four memorials were there at least until just prior to the sale of the church. These were:-
 
A plaque to 28 Officers and men of the Royal Marines Artillery who died in the Egyptian Campaign 1882-4
 
A plaque to Captain RA Gorges RMA lost in HMS Captain 1870
 
A window in memory of Captain Gilbert Vernon Wildman-Lushington RMA (Died: 2nd December 1913)
 
A plaque dedicated to Sergeant CE Young & Lt Turner lost from HMS Ramillies - 2nd March 1939
 
Further Information
Some of the original church memorials are said to have been removed to the Chapel in Stonehouse Barracks in Plymouth, but this has not yet been confirmed. Brandon Smith reports, in his record of Victoria Cross holders that memorials to Norman Finch VC and Lewis Halliday VC are probably amongst those removed to Plymouth. Both men had streets in Eastney named after them.
