Description
The Cleator Moor War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1922, with additions for the Second World War. Made from pink granite, it is located in the churchyard of the Grade II-listed Church of St John the Evangelist, prominently positioned in front of the east end of the church facing the roadside.
The memorial features a Celtic cross with carved knot work at the top, set on a tapering shaft that rises from a four-sided plinth and a single-stepped base. At the foot of the memorial, there is a small tablet dedicated to the Second World War.
The lower shaft and plinth display inscriptions in leaded lettering: on the east face, "FOR GOD – KING AND COUNTRY 1914 -1918" followed by names; the west, north, and south faces also bear names. In front of the east face, a tablet reads: "IN GRACIOUS MEMORY OF OUR GLORIOUS DEAD 1939-1945."
The memorial is enclosed by a low kerb wall with eight square posts.
