Description
"....Coundon War Memorial was unveiled on 25 September 1921 by Colonel F Walton MC. The cost of £450 was met by public subscription to a war memorial fund and the memorial was designed and made by Allison and Sons of Bishop Auckland, with railings by Wilson and Sons of Blue Row. It commemorated 162 local servicemen who died in the First World War. Following the Second World War the names of those who fell in that conflict were added. The statue on the top of the memorial was vandalised in the 1960s: deemed unsafe because of the extent of the damage, it was removed and for some years was stored in Allison’s stone-yard. The memorial was restored in 2007...." -
