Mealsgate War Memorial

The memorial stands in the churchyard of the church of All Hallows (Grade II). It is made of granite and consists of a Maltese cross decorated with a Celtic pattern and a small wreath in the centre carved in bas-relief, set on a flat tapering column that rises from a square base.

An inscription on the front face of the base 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 fell in the First World War are listed on the front face of the column. On another face on the base reads 1939-1945 (NAMES). The inscriptions are raised in relief, and painted black.
