Heritage listing
Details First World War memorial. DESCRIPTION: Catterick Camp and Aerodrome war memorial is located at the northern end of Catterick village; it stands atop an embankment at the roadside along High Street (A6136). It takes the form of an oak Calvary cross, painted white; to the north-east face is a painted sculpture of the Crucifixion beneath an oak canopy. The cross rises from a four-sided, chamfered plinth, which surmounts a single step base. The inscription is to the north-east face of the plinth and reads, SACRED TO THE MEMORY/ OF THE OFFICERS, NON-COMMISSIONED/ OFFICERS AND MEN OF CATTERICK/ CAMP AND AERODROME WHO/ FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 - 1918/ MAY THEY REST IN PEACE. A cross pattée symbol is incised above the inscription and to the bottom corners of the north-east face of the plinth. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: The memorial stands on a raised platform of narrow, regular-coursed stone. It is enclosed to the north-east side by metal railings with fleur-de-lys style finials. The remaining sides are bounded by low stone walls of similar construction to the platform, with quoins to the corners and flat stone coping. The enclosure is approached by a flight of stone steps up the embankment; at the top of the steps are low, flanking stone walls with flat copings.
