Description
The Scarthin War Memorial is located in Scarthin, north of the pond, and is part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. It features a well-proportioned pillar made of Hopton stone, which is square in shape, with a stepped and chamfered base and a shallowly-corniced cap. At the top of the pillar is a small pedestal that supports an electrical lamp standard. The memorial is surrounded by low metal railings at its base.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pillar reads: "ERECTED/ TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN/ OF SCARTHIN,/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE/ GREAT EUROPEAN WAR 1914-1918/ (9 NAMES)/ MAY THEIR REWARD BE AS GREAT/ AS THEIR SACRIFICE." A later inscription on the left-hand face notes "1939 – 1945/ (3 NAMES)."
