Description
The West Rainton War Memorial is located on North Street, at the northern edge of the churchyard of St Mary’s Church, which is listed as Grade II*. The memorial features a large rough-hewn granite monolith set on a substantial plinth. The front face of the monolith is intricately carved in the shape of a scroll, with a polished surface that displays the inscription: "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919. (60 NAMES) 1939-1945 (12 NAMES) GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN."
The memorial is elevated above a rendered, coped retaining wall and is accessible from street level via a set of seven sandstone steps.
