Pelton War Memorial
Pelton Parish Council launched a campaign in June 2018 to raise the funds required to create the memorial, which will sit in Pelton Cemetery, there are 28 War Graves Commission burials from the two world wars sited in the cemetery.
Darlington-based master stonemason David France was commissioned to create the memorial, which features a cross, a steel soldier’s helmet and a steel poppy on the front. The monument is made from a 12.5 tonne piece of sandstone taken from the Witton Fell quarry at Leyburn in North Yorkshire.
An official dedication and unveiling ceremony led by Reverend John Lintern, vicar of Pelton Holy Trinity Church took place on 20th October 2019.
The steel helmet is a copy of the Brodie helmet worn by Tommies during World War 1. The helmet was designed by Latvian, Leopold Janno Braude, anglicized to John Leopold Brodie. It was designed to protect the soldier from shrapnel shell projectiles bursting from above the trenches rather than direct rifle shots. By the end of the First World War around nine million of these 'tin hats' has been made.
