Description
Cartmel Fell War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1924, located in the churchyard of St Anthony’s Church in Cartmel Fell, Cumbria. It is prominently placed just inside the churchyard entrance, near the lych gate and close to the paths leading to the church. The memorial consists of a local slate monolith with flat front and back faces and rough-hewn sides, set on a two-tiered square base made of rubble and slab construction. The front face features inscriptions, including a relief-carved wreath with ribbons that display the relief-carved dates of the First World War.
The inscription is in incised lettering and reads: 1914 1918/ THIS STONE & LYCH GATE/ WERE ERECTED TO THE MEMORY/ OF THE OFFICERS AND MEN/ OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ (NAMES) LEST WE FORGET/ ALSO/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES).
