Lindal-in-Furness War Memorial

Lindal-in-Furness War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, with later additions for the Second World War. It is located within a small square of hard-standing at the southern edge of the village green, near the Grade II-listed Drigg and Irton Church Farmhouse.

The memorial is made from Stainton limestone and is designed in the shape of a Latin cross with a two-stepped foot. A small wreath is carved in relief at the center of the cross-head on its front (south) face. The cross stands on a tall, square plinth that tapers at the top and has a square block foot with a moulded top, all resting on a single-step stone base. This is set atop a narrow, chamfered stone block that projects in a semi-circle at the southern end. All names and inscriptions are in raised leaded lettering.

On the front (south) face of the lower step of the cross foot are the dates 1914 - 1919. The main inscription on the plinth reads: IN HONOUR OF THOSE/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1915/ (1 NAME)/ 1916/ (2 NAMES)/ 1917/ (4 NAMES)/ 1918/ (4 NAMES)/ 1939 – 1945/ (3 NAMES). The words LEST WE FORGET appear on the plinth foot below.

Both the east and west faces of the plinth include the words AND OF/ THOSE WHO SERVED, with the names listed underneath.

The memorial is surrounded by modern railings, which are not considered to have special architectural or historic interest.
