About the memorial: Obelisk, 10 feet high, tapering, set on a pedestal resting on four steps. There is a cross raised in half relief on the front face of the column. The dedication and names are incised into the main pedestal on all four faces, using sans serif capitals throughout. It is just south of the Prince Bishop (formerly the Three Tuns) Public House, and was originally in the Cemetery, before it was moved in 1989 due to vandalism. On 13 March 2017 a wrought iron Centenary Seat was added- this is on Lowland Road, in front of Silver Courts DH7 8NP, and is not a memorial in it's own right.
