Cross of Sacrifice, Bury Cemetery
Bury cemetery was opened in 1869 and is owned by the council. A Cross of Sacrifice was erected facing the entrance after the end of the First World War. It is Grade II-listed (List Entry Number: 1451503 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1451503 Historic England). The precise date of erection is unknown. It is first marked on the 1:2,500 Ordnance Survey (OS) map published in 1930. The town's main war memorial was erected in 1924 and it is likely that this memorial would have been raised at the same time. No extra inscriptions were added following the Second World War.
