About the memorial: The two villages of Gunthwaite and Ingbirchworth did not have memorials created after the two world wars and following closure of the local chapel in 2012, the Parish Council decided to commission one to mark the centenary of the outbreak of World War One. Designed and made by a local stonemason and sculptor, the memorial was dedicated in 2015. An adjacent matching stone slab naming the five villagers killed in action was added in 2018 to mark the centenary of the Great War's end. Material is a dense bluish sandstone quarried locally that will be highly resistant to weathering.
