War Memorial
The war memorial on Holy Island was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) and carved in Doddington stone by Mr Tully of Belford. The memorial was unveiled on the 4th of June 1922 by Major Morley Crossman D.S.O. and dedicated by Rev. W.B. Hall.[1] It is inscribed with the names of 8 local servicemen who lost their lives in the First World War. Later, the names of 3 local men who died in the Second World War were added to the monument.[2] The memorial is Grade II* listed on the National Heritage List for England.
