About the memorial: The memorial to the seven men of Burghwallis who fell in the Great War of 1914-18 is a Runic Cross which was originally inscribed on the West Face.

The inscription on the North Face added later, is in memory of the 3 men who lost their lives in the second world war of 1939-45. In 2012 the Parish Council renovated the area by laying a York stone floor and adding two stone troughs with floral displays.This site is kindly maintained by volunteers from the village.
