War Memorial


The War Memorial in Embleton Cemetery was unveiled on 24th July 1921 by Viscount Grey of Falloden, in commemoration of 52 local servicemen who died during the First World War. Funded by public subscription the memorial was carved by JP Whittle of Amble, and erected by JG Green and Sons of Warkworth. Following the Second World War the details of 11 men who died in that conflict were added to the memorial.
