Description
The Castle Carrock War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920. It is located in the churchyard, prominently positioned to the right side of the church entrance. The memorial features a simple, unadorned sandstone Latin cross, which stands on a short shaft and a tapering plinth with a moulded bottom section. The base is two-stepped with chamfered upper edges. The plinth and base display inscriptions in incised uppercase lettering that read: "IN/ GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ (NAMES)/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918.// FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH// ERECTED BY THE PARISHIONERS."
