Description

Worsley War Memorial is located near the west door of the Grade I-listed Church of St Mark in Worsley, Salford. It is made of Cornish granite and features a cross fleury on a tapering octagonal shaft. The shaft rises from an octagonal plinth, which is set on a three-stepped base; the top two steps are octagonal while the lowest is square. The plinth has a moulded cap and base, and the names of the fallen are inscribed around its faces. The memorial is situated in a square gravelled area that is surrounded by a stone kerb.

The main dedicatory inscription is on the front face of the plinth, written in gothic script. It reads: "REMEMBER/ BEFORE GOD/ THE GALLANT DEAD/ WHOSE NAMES/ ARE WRITTEN HERE/ THOUGH MANY LIE/ IN OTHER LANDS/ THEY FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919."
