Status: Unknown
Type: Non freestanding
Location: Internal
Setting: Attached to a building/structure
Description: Battlefield (wooden) cross
Materials:
  • Metal Metal (any)
  • Metal Brass
  • Timber Timber (any)
Lettering: Inscribed on a plaque
Conflicts:
  • First World War (1914-1918)
About the memorial: The cross is attached to a wall in the church of St Peter, Gunton. Below the cross is a plaque bearing the details given below. The cross also has the original GRU tags. Taken together the information is a bit confusing- The GRU name tag records him as Capt. W.F. Charlesworth. The brass plaque beneath the cross, presumably put there by his family (owners of Gunton Hall for which this would have been almost the family chapel) records his name as Captain F. Raymond Charlesworth. The CWGC index records him as Frederic Raymond Charlesworth, son of Basil Arthur and Helen Lilian Royds Charlesworth of Gunton Hall. He died of wounds on 19 September 1918 and is buried at Doingt Communal Cemetery Extension. Doingt is near Peronne. It appears his substantive rank was Lieutenant, acting Captain.
