The Roll of Honour

The Harris houses Preston’s Municipal Roll of Honour which lists 1956 men from Preston who lost their lives during the First World War. It was added to the building in 1927, replacing a temporary Roll of Honour which had existed in the central rotunda since 1917. The Roll of Honour is located on the ground floor, in two sections, on the angles of both staircases facing the entrance door. The names on the Roll of Honour are inscribed on marble tablets and begin with the men of the Royal Navy listed in alphabetical order, followed by the Regiments in alphabetical order.
