Description
The Horsley War Memorial is a First World War memorial, with additions for the Second World War, built in 1923 from rusticated granite. It is located on the south side of the main street in the small village of Horsley. The memorial takes the form of a St. Cuthbert cross, which is decorated with Celtic interlace patterns. This cross is mounted on a large rusticated pedestal that features inscriptions on its smoothed north side. The pedestal is set on a shallower stepped base. The entire structure is enclosed within a square area surrounded by a plain iron fence with a gate. The inscriptions are in sans serif capitals, incised and filled with lead. The dedication on the front reads:
IN HONOUR OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WARS/ 1914-18/ [followed by the eleven names of the fallen listed below in alphabetical order with surnames and forename]/ 1939-1945/ [followed by the two names of the fallen from the Second World War].
