Danesmoor War Memorial

The Danesmoor War Memorial is a notable structure set on a paved area. It features a white marble carved figure of a soldier holding a rifle and bayonet, positioned in front of a tree stump with his foot resting on a spent shell case. The sculpture stands on a concrete square pedestal and square base, reaching a total height of 2.3 meters. On the southern face of the pedestal, there is a square bronze plaque that reads "TO / OUR GLORIOUS DEAD / 1914 – 1918 / 1939 – 1945." Below this, a second, larger plaque displays an inscription in raised lettering that states "1914 – 1918 WAR," followed by the names of those who fell in the First World War, including their rank and regiment. The plaque also notes "1939-1945 WAR," listing the names of those who fell in the Second World War, along with their rank and regiment. The memorial is enclosed by a low lying stone wall that has an opening at the front.
