Historic England; details of Grade II Listing of the memorial on 13/1/2020: 'The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England. This was the result of both the huge impact on communities of the loss of three quarters of a million British lives, and also the official policy of not repatriating the dead, which meant that the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss. One such memorial was raised at Nenthall as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by six local servicemen who lost their lives. The war memorial was built by the firm of masons Messrs Beattie & Co of Carlisle, who were responsible for many war memorials in the north of England and in Scotland, some of which are Grade II listed. It was unveiled in March 1920 at a well-attended ceremony presided over by Reverend J Price, superintendent Wesleyan minister and the lesson was read by Reverend CC Oyston. The hymn 'Thy will be done' was sung before the dedication prayer was offered by the primitive Methodist minister who was also an ex-forces chaplain. The memorial was unveiled by Mrs Walton Wilson, Shotley Hall who placed a wreath of laurel leaves and snowdrops'. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1467848?section=official-list-entry [ibid; 'Comments and photos' page: includes several images of the memorial itself, and of the Deed of Gift document/ unveiling reports etc: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1467848?section=comments-and-photos]
