Earlston Parish Church holds a WWI Plaque from the Parish Church, and a WWI Plaque (+ Roll Board) from its United Free Church, both of which are already recorded on this website.

Victims of the Second World War are commemorated on the lectern.

Note that the parish church - rather bizarrely named "Earlston Ercildoune" following the 1929 reunion - joined with the former UF church (Earlston St John's) on 31st March 1946, and this is evidently a combined memorial.
