The front of the base is inscribed: THIS MEMORIAL WAS ERECTED/BY/THE INHABITANTS OF CRATHORNE. The memorial is set in the front gardens of a reading room in the centre of the village. Summary of Importance War memorials always merit serious consideration for designation as historic and cultural signifiers of the impact of world events on small local communities. This cross is a good example from the First World War, with strong local ties and the added interest of a woman's name among the fallen.
