Description
The Mealsgate War Memorial is located in the churchyard of All Hallows Church. It is made of granite and features a Maltese cross adorned with a Celtic pattern and a small wreath carved in bas-relief at its center. This cross is set atop a flat tapering column that rises from a square base.
On the front face of the base, there is an inscription that reads: "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN FROM THIS PARISH / WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE / IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 / “GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN.” The names of the men who died in the First World War are listed on the front face of the column. Another face of the base includes the years 1939-1945 followed by the names of those who fell in the Second World War. The inscriptions are raised in relief and painted black.
