Description
The Felton War Memorial is a 5-meter tall structure made of Aberdeen granite, located at the roadside on the north bank of the River Coquet. It features a Celtic cross that is richly decorated with intricate interlace patterns carved in low relief on both the wheel-head and the cross shaft. The shaft rises from a small pedestal, which is set on a tapering plinth, and the entire memorial is elevated on a square three-stepped base.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads: "PRO PATRIA/ 1914 – 1919/ A TRIBUTE OF/ REVERENT REMEMBRANCE TO/ OUR GLORIOUS DEAD." The names of those who served in the First World War are listed by township on the faces of the plinth:
- North face: FELTON (16 NAMES)
- East face: THIRSTON (13 NAMES)
- West face: ACTON (2 NAMES), ESHOTT (6 NAMES), SWARLAND (3 NAMES)
Additionally, a sloping plaque at the front foot of the memorial commemorates the Second World War, reading: "1939 – 1945/ FELTON (2 NAMES), THIRSTON (1 NAME), ACTON (2 NAMES), ESHOTT (2 NAMES), SWARLAND (5 NAMES)."
The memorial is surrounded by low metal posts connected by a chain.
