Description
The memorial stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Brandon (Grade I-listed), within the Grade II-registered park of Brancepeth Castle. Built in Heworth stone and c6m tall, it comprises a cross fleury with a moulded foot rising from a tapering, octagonal, shaft. There is a shield carved at the cross arms bearing the monogram IHS. The cross shaft stands on a small pedestal with broach stops to the corners and a stepped, tapering, foot. That stands on a three-stepped, square, base.
The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ OUR GLORIOUS DEAD/ 1939 – 1945. The commemorated names are incised on the remaining three faces.
