Description
The Cossall War Memorial is a First World War memorial located in the churchyard of the Grade II* listed Church of St Catherine. It is made of white marble and granite. The memorial takes the form of a white marble obelisk featuring a soldier’s peaked cap, a sword with sash, a wreath of laurel, and a branch of oak leaves and acorns, all carved in relief on the front face. This obelisk is mounted on a plinth that has two square stepped bases and a square two-tier platform made of granite.
The front face of the plinth is inscribed with the words: "TO THE GLORIOUS MEMORY OF THE BRAVE LADS OF THIS PARISH WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-18 THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE," followed by the names of the fallen. Additionally, the front face of the base is inscribed: "ALSO IN GLORIOUS MEMORY OF THOSE WHO FELL IN THE SECOND GREAT WAR 1939-1945," along with their names.
