Description
The Calthwaite War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921 by Messrs Beattie and Co of Carlisle. It is made from Aberdeen granite.
The memorial features a rough-hewn cross with a relief-carved wreath at the center of the head, with ribbons trailing along the arms of the cross. This cross is set on a short shaft that rises from a large, rough-hewn plinth with rounded shoulders. The front of the plinth has a divided appearance: the left-hand side has a smooth dressed tablet with lead lettering, while the right side displays a Brodie helmet and a Lee-Enfield rifle carved in relief on the rough-hewn area. The lead lettering of the inscription reads: ERECTED IN/ GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF/ CALTHWAITE DISTRICT/ WHO DIED IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918/ (NAMES)/ THEY LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO THE DEATH.
The memorial stands on a simple single-stepped square base, which is set within a square area defined by low kerbstones. The right-hand end of the base is marked with the sculptor's name in small lead letters: BEATTIE & CO, SCULPTORS/ CARLISLE.
