Location: The memorial stands in front of the church

 

OS ref: 103  SD

 

Date: 12th November 1920

 

The photo shows the rear of the memorial (due to the direction of the sun at the time of my visit). The front of the cross is decorated with celtic designs. I plan to revisit the village at a different time of day.

 

 

To the Glory of God

in heartfelt thankfulness

for the great deliverance

and the blessing of peace

In the thankfulness to the men of

Chatburn and Worston

who fought for us in the Great War

and returned in safety

and more especially in proud and

grateful remembrance of those

who laid down their lives

this cross is erected by

the inhabitants of this parish

November 1920
