Description

The War Memorial at the junction at North Lodge, Oxenfoord Castle, dates from the earlier 20th century. It features a Celtic ring cross on an ornamental shaft, with an engraved plinth and a two-stepped base. Constructed from Portland stone, it has a dressed ashlar base, and the dates and names are carved and then coloured black.

On the southwest elevation, there is a large knotwork central boss, with carved interlocking Celtic knotwork on the upper and lower limbs and lateral arms. The slightly projecting shaft is divided into three architraved sections, with "1914" at the top, a relief of a laurel wreath in the center, and "1919" at the bottom. Below this is a larger sloped plinth featuring a relief panel inscribed: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF CRANSTOUN PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR," flanked by a single cross and listing the names below. The base of the plinth has the inscription: "THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE," and it rests on a two-stepped base.

The southeast elevation displays a carved memorial for World War II on a sloped plinth, featuring the dates "1939" and "1945" with a cross in between, and names listed below.

The northeast elevation is the undecorated rear of the stone Celtic ring cross, shaft, plinth, and base.

On the northwest elevation, there is another carved memorial for World War II on a sloped plinth, again with the dates "1939" and "1945" and a cross between, along with names listed below.
