Description
The Charlesworth War Memorial is a structure commemorating those who fell in the First and Second World Wars. It is located within an area paved with sandstone flagstones and surrounded by stone kerbs at a road junction. The designer of the memorial is not known.
The memorial is constructed from ashlar stone and features a truncated tapered obelisk that rises from a deep plinth. The north and south faces of the plinth have a vertical curved projection at the center of each face, and above these projections on the corresponding faces of the monument shaft are fixing holes, which may have been used to secure flagpoles or other commemorative fittings. The west face of the obelisk is inscribed with the names of local community members who died in the First World War, along with the inscription: 1914-1918/ IN MEMORY/ OF THE FALLEN/ OF THIS PARISH/ (Names)/ 1939-1945/ (names). The names of those lost in the Second World War are inscribed on the corresponding face of the plinth below.
