Description
The Pennington Parish War Memorial Cross is located on the north side of Ulverston Road, in a grassy area at the junction with the lane leading to Pennington. This sandstone memorial stands approximately 4 meters tall and features a plain Latin cross with chamfered arms and shaft. The shaft rises from a square, chamfered plinth, which is set on a four-stepped, square base.
The main inscription on the front face of the plinth reads: "1914 – 1918/ +/ PENNINGTON/ MEMORIAL OF THE GREAT WAR/ FOR THE WORLD’S FREEDOM/ AND OF THE MEN/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR KING AND COUNTRY/ SIMPLY TO THY CROSS I CLING." The inscription "THEY SHALL BE HAD/ IN EVERLASTING/ REMEMBRANCE" is carved around the remaining three faces of the plinth, with the names of those who fell in the First World War listed below. Additionally, a plaque on the front face of the top step of the base bears the inscription "1939 – 1945" along with three names. Another plaque on the step below lists four names from the Second World War. All inscriptions are incised.
