Description
The Great Crakehall War Memorial is a First World War memorial featuring a stone Celtic-style cross on a domed base. The base is inscribed with the names of those who served, while the front shaft of the cross, which faces west, includes an inscription below base relief panels depicting stylised flowers, shields (including the George Cross and lions of England), and Masonic dividers. The inscription reads, "IN PROUD AND LOVING MEMORY OF THE MEN FROM THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR FREEDOM'S CAUSE IN THE GREAT WAR. 1914-1918." The head of the cross features a base-relief central rose with leaves on the arms, while the wheel and the sides and back of the cross are plain. The memorial is located in the churchyard of St Gregory's church on the village green. This finely carved cross holds social and historical significance and has strong group value with St Gregory's church.
