Description
The Trimdon Grange War Memorial is located near the western entrance of Trimdon Grange Cemetery. It is a large stone tablet with a curved top, featuring pilasters carved in low relief on either side. The memorial is raised on a two-stepped base and is positioned behind a stepped platform that is enclosed by low walls on both sides.
The main dedicatory inscription on the plaque states: "THIS/ MEMORIAL/ WAS ERECTED BY/ THE INHABITANTS OF THE TRIMDONS/ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THEIR MEMORIAL/ IN THE MINER’S HALL, TRIMDON GRANGE./ TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ “THEY DIED FOR FREEDOM AND HONOUR.” The inscription contains a grammatical error, as "Miner’s" should be "Miners'," which has been noted in local press but remains unchanged. Additionally, a later dedication on the riser of the uppermost step reads: "ALSO THE SECOND WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945."
