About the memorial: The Grade II listed Wooler war memorial stands on a hill adjacent to the ruins of Wooler Castle, or Tower, in Northumberland. It is a decorated Celtic cross on a plinth and a two-stepped base, surrounded by metal railings. There is an inscription on the lower half of the shaft of the cross, and a wreath is carved underneath this at the top of the plinth. The names of the men who fell in World War I are incised on the four sides of the plinth, and the names of the fallen of World War II are incised on the faces of the top step. The situation was deliberately chosen because it overlooks Glendale, the countryside with which the local men who fell were so familiar.
