Along with most parishes in the country, St Mary’s suffered significant losses during the 1914 - 1918 Great War. This granite celtic cross was erected outside the church, in 1922, as a war memorial, and the garden of remembrance was landscaped and dedicated in 1960. The memorial was cleaned and renovated in 2008, in time for the 90th anniversary of armistice day on 11th November 2008. The names of twenty one men from St. Mary’s who died are inscribed on the front of the war memorial (Image] ). The other inscriptions on this memorial are : Front: In honoured memory of the men from the church and schools of this parish who gave their lives in the Great War 1914 - 1918 Left hand side: Remember before God the gallant souls whose names are written here Right hand side: Their memory will never die http://www.stmarysdavyhulme.org/our-church/war-memorials/
