Description
The Brunswick Village War Memorial is located close to the pavement on the south side of Darrell Street, near the east end of St Cuthbert’s Church. It features a tall Celtic cross made of granite. The front face of the cross head is adorned with intricate interlace carving, and below it is the inscription TO/ THE/ GLORIOUS/ DEAD. The cross shaft rises from a tapering plinth, which sits on a square, two-stepped base.
The names of those who fell in the First World War are inscribed on the front face of the plinth. Below this, on the front face of the top step of the base, the main dedicatory inscription reads ERECTED BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION/ IN MEMORY OF THE BRAVE MEN OF THIS DISTRICT/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE EUROPEAN WAR/ 1914 – 1918. The east face of the plinth includes the dates 1939 – 1945/ (3 NAMES).
