Muggleswick War Memorial

First World War memorial, with Second World War addition, 1919

This memorial is situated within the churchyard of All Saints, Muggleswick. The granite memorial is in the form of a Celtic cross with a tapering shaft set upon a tapered plinth, the whole placed upon a square base surrounded by a kerbstone. The shaft and the cross head are decorated with a Celtic interlace design in relief and there is a central boss.

The inscription on the front face of the plinth reads:

In grateful memory of/ Soldiers from this Parish/ who gave their lives for/ God, King and Country/ in the World War/ 1914-1918/ Erected by Parishioners and Friends.

Below, the front face of the base reads:

‘The memory of their sacrifice is dear to us’.

The right and left sides of the pedestal record the names of the seven men who fell in the First World War and the name of a single Fallen of the Second World War, ordered by forename or initials followed by Surname.
