Description
Manningham War Memorial is a First World War memorial, built around 1921 and designed by T H & F Healey of Bradford. It is made of Bolton Wood sandstone and has a half-octagonal plan.
The memorial is located at the corner of Leamington Street and Victor Road, forming part of the churchyard wall to the north-east of the Grade II-listed Church of St Luke. It features a Latin memorial cross adorned with a reversed bronze sword and a chamfered base, which sits atop a square chamfered plinth. The front face of the plinth is engraved with the words: TO THE/ GLORY/ OF/ GOD. The memorial is set within a semi-circular recess, surrounded by radiating flags and enclosed at the back by a railed semi-circular parapet wall. This wall has two piers that connect it to the churchyard wall. The chamfered capstones of the parapet wall are engraved with the following words: (left side) IN HONOUR OF MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES and (right side) IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 THEIR NAMES ARE INSCRIBED WITHIN THIS CHURCH.
