When we as a Parish decided we wanted to commemorate the centenary of the Great War in 1914, we were far from sure how we should go about it. One approach was to research the lives of the Parishioners and friends of St. Werburgh's who'd lost their lives in that conflict. That proved to be a gold-mine. We realised how little we knew: how incomplete existing records were and how much there was to discover. We Shall Remember Them was published in 2015, full biographies - or as full as we could possibly make them - of all our 120 or so Great War Dead. As those more than 120 lives were researched and the biographies written, so many members of our Group realised there were other aspects of the life of St. Werburgh's during those Great War years that they would like to explore further. And so this present volume of essays has come about, and I am delighted to welcome its publication, almost forty essays and articles about so many different aspects of our life together, as Church and City, a hundred years ago.
