Description
The Sedbergh War Memorial is a Grade II listed structure made of sandstone, featuring limestone tablets attached to its base. The memorial consists of a simple cross atop a slender, 2-meter high tapered shaft with stop-chamfered corners. The east face of the cross shaft is inscribed with the words "LAUS / DEO." This cross is mounted on a square base, which is set upon a larger square plinth.
On the east face of the base, there is an inscription that reads:
"REMEMBER THE MEN / of SEDBERGH TOWN who / COUNTING NOT their LIVES / DEAR unto THEMSELVES DIED / for FREEDOM and COUNTRY / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 - 1919."
Additionally, the base features tablets that list the 40 names of The Fallen of Sedbergh, while the north and south faces of the plinth bear the names of 19 men who died in the Second World War.
