War Memorial, Ulverston

The cenotaph in Ulverson is located at the head of the Market Square by the junction of Market Street and Queen's Street. The memorial commemorates 175 local servicemen and Sister Tamar Watson, who lost their lives in the First World War. The memorial was designed by William. G. Collingwood. It was unveiled on the 11th of May 1921 and dedicated by the Bishop of Carlisle. Privates Richard Cross and Albert Jones, both of whom lost their right legs in the war, were also involved in the ceremony.[1] Later, the names of 59 local servicemen who died in the Second World War were added to the monument. In 2014, the memorial was cleaned and restored in the Centenary year of the First World War. The memorial is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
