Grenoside War Memorial

Grenoside War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1922, with additions for the Second World War. It is made of Cornish granite and has a base of Grenoside stone, with lead lettering.

The memorial is situated in a small garden at the junction of Penistone Road and Norfolk Hill. It features a rough-hewn granite wheel-head cross atop a tapering plinth, which is raised on a three-stepped base of Grenoside stone. The memorial is placed on a tarmacadam platform that is bordered by plain kerb stones, extending to the enclosure gate. The north-east face of the plinth is recessed and displays an inscription in lead lettering that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD,/ AND IN GRATEFUL AND LOVING/ REMEMBRANCE OF THE MEN OF/ GRENOSIDE WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918./ 'GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS'/ (12 names)." Additionally, 27 names of the fallen are inscribed on the recessed faces of the north-west and south-east sides of the plinth. A canted granite tablet with a matching recessed panel and lead lettering is mounted on the bottom step of the base, reading: "ALSO/ IN WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945/ (15 names)."

The oval-shaped memorial garden is enclosed at the rear by an un-coursed random rubble wall and at the front by a looped wrought-iron bar fence on a two-stepped stone plinth. A central gated entrance is accessible via stone steps.
