Mosborough War Memorial

The Mosborough War Memorial is a structure commemorating those who served in the First and Second World Wars, built in 1920 by an unknown designer.

Constructed from Aberdeen granite and stone, the memorial features a cross set on a tapering square base, which is positioned on a square plinth and supported by two square steps. Located within the grounds of St Mark’s Church, the memorial presents a tapering Celtic cross made of Aberdeen granite, adorned with black-painted lead lettering.

The front, or west face, of the cross showcases a raised knot work design at the top and an incised border along the shaft, which culminates in a raised knot work panel at the base. The shaft is supported by a deep, tapering base that displays the inscription "IN / MEMORY OF / THE FALLEN / OF / MOSBOROUGH / 1914 – 1918" on its west face. The names of the regiments associated with the 49 men, along with their ranks, first names, and surnames, are inscribed on the north, south, and east faces of the base.

Additionally, the west face of the square granite plinth features the dates "1939-1945" along with the first names and surnames of 21 men. The memorial is elevated on two stone steps, with the west face of the top step inscribed with "NEW ZEALAND" and a name.
