Heritage listing
Details The stone memorial stands in Corbridge Cemetery (Dilston Road), just within the entrance gates and flanked by the mortuary chapels (not listed). Approximately 9m tall, it takes the form of a Latin cross with a small wheel head rising from the moulded collar of the cross shaft. The shaft stands on a large plinth, square on plan with chamfered corners: each corner is a blind Gothic arch. The top of the plinth is ornamented with a crenelated entablature. The plinth is set on a moulded octagonal base and low step. The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads THIS MEMORIAL WAS ERECTED/ BY THE PARENTS AND FRIENDS/ OF THE MEN FROM THE PARISHES/ OF CORBRIDGE DILSTON HALTON/ AND WHITTINGTON WHO FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918/ AND DURING THE WAR 1939-1945/ “GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN/ THAN THIS”/ “THEY DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE”/ (NAMES). Further names are listed on the remaining faces of the plinth. This List entry has been amended to add the source for War Memorials Online.
