In 2013 Thorney Methodist Church was closed (see photographs, far right, below) and the war memorial inside was offered to the village. It was decided to move the memorial to Bedford Hall and a service of rededication was held on 11 November 2013. The memorial is identical to one in Thorney Abbey which has 45 names from the First World War, including one soldier originally from Oakham, Charles William Scott.
