MATERIALS: Stone cross and metal railings.
DESCRIPTION: Thornton in Lonsdale war memorial is in the form of a stone Maltese cross with a carved circular detail at its centre. The cross rises from a tapered shaft which is set upon a rectangular plinth. The front face of the plinth bears the incised inscription with painted black lettering which reads: IN MEMORY OF/ (NAMES)/ OF THIS PARISH/ WHO DIED ON ACTIVE SERVICE/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918. The east side face reads: WORLD WAR II/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAME AND REGIMENT)/ WE WILL REMEMBER.
The memorial is set upon a three-stepped base with the upper step bearing the inscription: “YE HAVE ENTERED INTO THEIR LABOURS.”
The memorial is sited with a paved enclosure defined by a low stone wall and railings.
The access steps are, however, not of special interest and are excluded from the listing.
