Whitfield War Memorial

The Whitfield War Memorial is located in an enclosure within the churchyard of the Church of the Holy Trinity, which is also listed at Grade II*. It overlooks the main road through West Allendale. The enclosure features a front wall with central gates and a curved hedge at the back. The memorial itself stands just over 3 meters tall and is designed as a wheel-head cross with an octagonal section. It has a wreath carved in low relief on the cross head and a reversed sword carved in low relief on the face of the cross. The large moulded foot of the cross shaft rests on an octagonal plinth, which is set on a stepped base.

The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the cross shaft foot reads, "IN MEMORY OF THOSE FROM THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919." The names of those commemorated are recorded on three faces of the plinth, organized by regiment. An inscription for the Second World War is located around the base of the plinth, stating, "GIVING THANKS TO ALMIGHTY GOD FOR THE SAFE RETURN OF THOSE FROM THIS PARISH WHO SERVED THEIR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE WAR 1939-1945."
