Leyburn War Memorial
The Leyburn War Memorial stands on the northwestern edge of the market place. It is a sandstone cross on a tapering shaft with a plinth, which is on a three-stepped base. The wheel cross is solid with stone spheres at the end of each arm of the cross and the centre; the shaft has a down-pointing sword carved in half-relief on both faces.
The plinth carries the dedication:
THIS CROSS WAS
ERECTED BY THE
INHABITANTS TO
THE MEMORY OF THE
MEN OF LEYBURN
WHO GAVE THEIR
LIVES IN THE
GREAT WAR
The dates 1914 and 1918 are inscribed on the sides whilst a further inscription says that the monument was “erected near the site of the old market cross which was removed in 1837”
Another panel was added along the western face of the top step after the Second World War.
A low wall and railings were added in the 1960s. Flower pots stand at each corner.
The memorial is Grade II-listed (List Entry Number: 1390605 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1390605 Historic England)
