Description

Hayton War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, located in the churchyard of St Mary Magdalen Church in Hayton, Cumbria. It is prominently positioned near the churchyard walls. The memorial features a wheel-head sandstone cross atop a tall, bowed shaft, which stands on a sloping low base. The cross head and the upper half of the shaft are adorned with strap work carving, while the lower half of the shaft displays an inscription in relief-carved lettering. The inscription reads: IN EVER LIVING/ REMEMBRANCE OF/ (NAMES)/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ "SO THEY PASSED OVER/ AND ALL THE TRUMPETS/ SOUNDED FOR THEM/ ON THE OTHER SIDE." The memorial is made from sandstone sourced from Shank quarry.
