Description
The memorial stands outside the Church of St Oswald (Grade II-listed), to the S side overlooking Brougham Terrace. It takes the form of a hooded crucifixion in Windy Nook stone, nearly 5m tall. The cross shaft rises from the corniced top of an octagonal plinth. The cornice is decorated with a frieze of carved rosettes. The plinth stands on a three-stepped base.
The principal dedicatory inscription is incised to the front face of the cross shaft, at the foot, reading TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN LOVING/ AND GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF/ THOSE WHO FOR/ COUNTRY/ FOR HOME AND/ FOR US GAVE/ THEIR LIVES/ IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919. The commemorated names are carved on the eight faces of the plinth.
