Details MATERIALS: Cornish granite. DESCRIPTION: Worsley War Memorial stands near the W door of the Church of St Mark (Grade I-listed) in Worsley, Salford. It consists of a Cornish granite cross fleury on a tapering octagonal shaft. The shaft rises from an octagonal plinth, which stands on a three-stepped base. The top two steps are octagonal, the lowest is square in plan. The plinth has a moulded cap and base and the names of the fallen are inscribed around its faces. The memorial stands in a square gravelled area surrounded by a stone kerb. The principal dedicatory inscription is located on the front face of the plinth, in a gothic script. It reads REMEMBER/ BEFORE GOD/ THE GALLANT DEAD/ WHOSE NAMES/ ARE WRITTEN HERE/ THOUGH MANY LIE/ IN OTHER LANDS/ THEY FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919.
