Description
The memorial stands in Evenwood Cemetery, just within the gates (not listed). Approximately 5m tall, the Dunhouse freestone memorial takes the form of an obelisk, square on plan. A wreath is carved in low relief on the front face of the obelisk. The obelisk rises from the cap of the pedestal below, also square on plan and with a three-stepped base. The base is enclosed by a square border and low kerb.
The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN/ THANKFUL REMEMBRANCE/ OF THE MEN OF/ EVENWOOD, RAMSHAW AND LANDS/ WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE/ DURING THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918. The commemorated names are inscribed on the other faces of the pedestal and on the riser of the top step of the base.
