War Memorial


The war memorial in Millom is located in a small park area on the junction of Station Road, Cambridge Street and Duke Street. The memorial was erected to commemorate 213 servicemen from Millom who lost their lives in the First World War. It stands on a hexagonal plinth and is topped by a statue of St Michael slaying a dragon. The memorial was unveiled on the 24th of May 1925 by Major General Sir Louis Vaughan and dedicated by Dr West Watson, Bishop of Barrow.[1] The memorial is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
