War Memorial Obelisk in old churchyard west of Church Street, Castleside (Castleside)

The memorial is constructed of a polished pink marble obelisk on top of a three-tiered pedestal on a stone foundation. The whole is set within a circular kerb with four kerbed pathways leading to the central monument, resembling a wheel. Between the pathways are four sloping quarters, grassed. The dedication and names of fallen soldiers from the First World War and WW2 are carried on all four sides of the main plinth, with quotations located on the two lower tiers of the plinth. Unveiled 1919, WW2 details obviously added later. (1-2)
