Above Derwent War Memorial


The War Memorial for Above Derwent is located on a small triangular green on the north side of the old A66 road, between Braithwaite and Portinscale. The memorial is a Celtic cross, which was unveiled on the 7th of August, 1921 and dedicated by the Reverend G. K. Carpenter. The memorial commemorates 18 local servicemen and 1 woman (Sarah Barnes) who lost their lives in the First World War. Following the Second World War the names of a further 13 men were added and the memorial was re-dedicated on the 8th of August 1948, again by the Reverend G. K. Carpenter.[1] The memorial is Grade II listed. It was added to the National Heritage List for England on the 11th of June, 2018, during the Centenery of the First World War.
