About the memorial: The listing entry for Historic England reads as follows - War memorial, 1905. Block of rough-hewn grey granite on a square base, upon three stone steps. South-east face : polished and inscribed with names of the fallen. (c Historic England.) This stone remains in place and the photo shows that it is well maintained. However the North East War Memorials Project states (http://www.newmp.org.uk/detail.php?contentId=9150) that the granite block was originally the plinth for a bronze statue of a soldier. This was stolen in March 1968, the rifle having been stolen six weeks previously. A trace of the boots remains.
