Description
The Corbridge War Memorial is a stone structure located in Corbridge Cemetery on Dilston Road, positioned just inside the entrance gates and flanked by non-listed mortuary chapels. It stands approximately 9 meters tall and is designed in the form of a Latin cross with a small wheel head that rises from the moulded collar of the cross shaft. The shaft is supported by a large square plinth with chamfered corners, each featuring a blind Gothic arch. The top of the plinth is decorated with a crenelated entablature. This plinth rests on a moulded octagonal base and a low step.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth states: "THIS MEMORIAL WAS ERECTED/ BY THE PARENTS AND FRIENDS/ OF THE MEN FROM THE PARISHES/ OF CORBRIDGE DILSTON HALTON/ AND WHITTINGTON WHO FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918/ AND DURING THE WAR 1939-1945/ “GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN/ THAN THIS”/ “THEY DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE”/ (NAMES)." Additional names are inscribed on the other faces of the plinth.
