  • The Southwekk and Nottingham Church History project tells us: "As a result of enemy action in 1941 the church was badly damaged; the sacristy was destroyed, the apsidal wall was badly cracked, the organ was damaged and many windows broken. The church was saved by the Vicar (the Revd F. L. F. Rees), a part-time air warden. Armed with a stirrup pump, he dashed to the scene and saw an incendiary bomb blazing away in the roof. He waited for the bomb to burn its way through and fall into the nave. He then doused the flames with the pump."
