The WW2 inscription on the memorial which can be seen in this picture by Trish Steel: Image The memorial itself is 12 foot high and was made from a block of freestone by local sculptor and stone mason Arthur Pearson in his workshop in Park Square in the village. It was erected in 1920 with the stone coming from Dunhouse Quarry near Darlington. Inspiration for the design came from the Celtic cross of St. Martin on the Isle of Iona off the west coast of Scotland.
