Description
Great Orton War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, located in the churchyard of St Giles Church at Cross House Gardens in Great Orton, Cumbria. It is prominently placed near the entrance of the churchyard. The memorial consists of a roughly teardrop-shaped granite boulder with a bronze plaque attached to its smoothed front face, and a bronze cross affixed to its tip. This boulder rests on a two-tiered square base made of dressed sandstone blocks. At the corners of the first step, four black-painted shell cases serve as posts for chains that surround the monument.
The plaque features an inscription that includes the names of those commemorated and the crest of the Border regiment. The inscription reads: 4th AUG 1914 11th NOV 1918/ (NAMES)/ “QUAE POTUÉRE.”
