Hurst War Memorial
The Great War Memorial at the northern end of Hurst Cemetery was unveiled in January 1921 by Sir Walter de Frece, the MP for Ashton at that time.
The Gaelic cross stands 18ft high on top of a four sided plinth, surrounded by a small flowerbed. Each side of the plinth bears a cast bronze panel with names from the Great War. There are 185 names in all, and the panel also bears the inscription: "To the glory of God and in the loving memory of the men of Hurst who gave their lives for King and Country in the Great War, 1914-1919.” (http://www.tameside.gov.uk/warmemorial/hurstcemetery - Tameside MBC).
