THE LYTCH GATE

The original Lytch Gate was destroyed by a bomb in 1940.

The bomb destroyed some of the windows in the Church and damaged some of the nearby monuments.

Below are the names and Commonwealth War Graves of Sidney Holliday and Frederick Harris who both lost their lives in Bushey when the bomb exploded.
