Description
The Commondale War Memorial is located at the west end of Sandhill Bank, overlooking Sandhill Bridge. It features a stone Latin cross mounted on a short, tapering square shaft that rises from a plinth, which is set on a four-stage square base. The memorial is enclosed by railings and a stone kerb.
On the front face of the plinth, there are brown salt-glazed stoneware tablets with the inscription: "IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF COMMONDALE, WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR GOD, KING, AND COUNTRY, IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914-1918." The rear of the plinth bears the words: "THEIR NAME SHALL REMAIN FOR EVER: AND THEIR GLORY SHALL NOT BE BLOTTED OUT. LEST WE FORGET." The names of the fallen are listed on side panels. Additionally, a smaller panel set into the upper step notes that the memorial was "DRESSED & ERECTED BY J. FORD. CASTLETON. DESIGNED BY W.H. EARL, DANBY."
