About the memorial: Sandstone Lych gate, 15th Century style, with crenellated top. On either side, filling the corner created by the arch on the front face, are carved the County arms, and the ancient arms of Corbridge. Above the arch is the dedication, the lettering incised into a square headed sunken panel using sans serif capitals. Inside the gate there is a plaque set into each side wall-by November 2016 these are covered with a protective sheet of perspex sat proud of the plaques. The one on the west side bears the names, with the letters incised in sans serif capitals in five columns. The one on the east side bears a plain cross in relief which is accompanied by a text printed on either side of the lower shaft of the cross, the lettering formed by taking out the background and leaving the letters standing in relief, using sans serif capitals. The roof is slate and the gates are wooden. There are 108 names
