War Memorial, Sherburn Village


The war memorial on Hope Street in Sherburn Village was unveiled on the 11th of November 2007, following a 3 year fund-raising campaign by residents. The monument lists the names of 41 local men who lost their lives in the First World War and 20 names of those lost in the Second World War.[1] To mark the centenary of the First World War 2 granite stones were placed on either side of the monument in 2014, inscribed with war poems; one stone to mark the start and the other the end of the war.[2]
