Description
Calderbridge War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. It is made of red sandstone and is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Bridget, along the A595 in Calderbridge, Cumbria. The memorial is prominently positioned south of the church entrance, facing the main road junction in the center of the hamlet.
The structure features a red sandstone wheel-head Celtic cross, which has stylised relief-carved strap- and ball-work on both the cross and the shaft. At the base of the shaft, there is a dedication in relief-carved lettering, which sits atop a tapering four-sided plinth that also includes relief-carved inscriptions. This is set on a narrow two-stepped square base.
The inscription, also in relief-carved lettering, reads: "IN SACRED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF ST BRIDGET'S PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT EUROPEAN WAR 1914 – 1919 (NAMES) THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE ECCLUS.XLIV.14 IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945 (NAMES)."
