Christleton War Memorial

The Christleton War Memorial is a sandstone structure standing approximately 6 meters tall. It features an intricately detailed, gabled lantern adorned with religious symbols such as a Cross, Christogram, and gothic arches, along with Tudor roses and acanthus leaves. The lantern is situated atop an octagonal, chamfered, and tapering shaft, which rests on an octagonal plinth.

Recessed panels on each side of the plinth display the dedications and names of the fallen, all incised into the sandstone. The inscription on the south-facing side reads: "IN MEMORY OF SOLDIERS OF CHRISTLETON WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY 1914 – 1918." On the north-facing side, the inscription states: "THIS STONE IS ERECTED IN HONOUR OF THEIR SACRIFICE AND AS A THANKSGIVING FOR THOSE WHO RETURNED." There are 36 names, detailing rank and regiment, inscribed on the remaining six sides of the plinth, which is set upon a three-stepped octagonal base with a stone surround.

Additionally, on the south-facing side of the memorial base, a bronze plaque lists the names of 19 men who served in the Second World War, beneath the dates 1939 – 1945.
