Fatfield War Memorial

The c5m tall memorial of Bolton Wood stone stands on the north side of Bonemill Lane. It takes the form of a blind Celtic cross rising from an octagonal shaft. That stands on a slightly tapering pedestal. The pedestal is raised on a square three-stepped base. The remaining part of the original octagonal cross shaft stands to the rear of the memorial.

The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF/ THE BRAVE MEN OF/ HARRATON PARISH WHO FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919. The commemorated names are recorded on the other sides of the pedestal, with the Second World War names added to the north face. The front face of the top step is inscribed GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAT THIS, THAT A MAN LAY/ DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. ST JOHN 15.13.
