Description
Grange War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1922, located in the churchyard of Holy Trinity Church on the B5289 in Grange, Cumbria. It is prominently positioned against the south wall of the church, facing the main road. The memorial features a wheel-head cross made of Honister slate, set on a square plinth with a single-stepped base. The front face of the cross is highly decorated with carvings of animals, vines, a laurel wreath, and strap work. The sides of both the cross and the shaft also display decorative elements.
The shaft includes a relief-carved inscription commemorating those who served in the First World War, while a tablet added to the front of the plinth features relief-carved inscriptions for the Second World War. The First World War inscription reads: "IN SACRED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF GRANGE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THE RIGHT AND THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 (Names) THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE." The Second World War inscription includes the names and the dates "1939 – 1945 WE WILL REMEMBER THEM."
