MARTON WAR
MEMORIAL
World
War 1 & 2 - Roll of Honour with detailed information

The
memorial is to be found in the grounds of St Margaret's Church, Marton.
It takes the form of Celctic Cross on atapered shaft mounted on a plinth,
the whole standing on a three-stepped base. The inscriptions are affixed
to the plinth on two msides in the form of white, marble, tablets. The
memorial was unveiled on 1st August 1921. The base stone and shaft of
the cross apparently date back to the 7th century when it stood in the
market place before being moved to the church. The ex-servicemen then
restored it and moved it to a more predominant position as a war memorial.
