Description
Ireby War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, located in the churchyard of the Church of St James in Ireby, Cumbria. It is prominently placed against the east wall of the church, facing the churchyard and the road. The memorial features an approximately 2.5-meter tall polished Celtic cross with knotwork carving at the head, mounted on a tapering polished shaft. This shaft is set upon a tapering, four-sided plinth with a moulded upper section. Both the shaft and the plinth display inscriptions in incised lettering. The inscription reads: "TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR 1914 – 18 (NAMES) AND IN THE WAR 1939 – 45 (NAMES) PRO PATRIA."
