Description
Brinsworth and Canklow War Memorial is situated in the churchyard of St George’s Church. It features a stone Latin cross that rises from a square shaft, with the head of the cross adorned with intricate knotwork detailing. The moulded base of the shaft includes scroll details on either side. The memorial is set upon a rectangular plinth that rests on a two-stepped base.
The shaft of the cross bears the inscription “LEST/ WE/ FORGET.” The names of the fallen are inscribed on the front and rear, with the years 1914 and 1918 ornately carved on either side of the names on the front face.
Two additional plaques were added later. The first, affixed to the front face of the top step, reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN EVER GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF BRINSWORTH & CANKLOW WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ “THEY DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE.” Below this is an angled plaque listing the names of those who fell in the Second World War, inscribed with the years 1939 and 1945 in a style matching that of the First World War.
The memorial is elevated on a raised platform and is enclosed by posts and a chain link fence.
