Burgh War Memorial

The Burgh War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1919, with additions made after the Second World War. It is constructed of granite and features a 2.1-meter tall Celtic cross adorned with relief-carved knotwork. The cross stands on a tapered four-sided plinth with a square base beneath it.

On the south face of the plinth, there is an inscription that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF/ (FIVE NAMES)/ BEING MEN OF BURGH WHO FELL IN/ THE WORLD'S GREAT WAR 1914-1919/ GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS/ THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS." Below this inscription, on the chamfered top of the base, an additional inscription states: "1939-1945 LEST WE FORGET." Further down on the base, there are three names listed.

The west face of the memorial features another inscription that reads: "1914-1919/ LET US NEVER FORGET THAT/ EVERY MAN WHO SERVED IN/ THE GREAT WAR IS DESERVING/ OF OUR GRATITUDE/ ON THE BURGH ROLL OF HONOUR/ IN OUR CHURCH IS A LIST OF 49/ WHO SO SERVED." The east face simply states: "LEST WE FORGET," while the north face lists three names along with the dates "1939-1945."
