Reasons for Designation Embleton War Memorial, which stands in Embleton Cemetery, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on this local community, and the sacrifice it has made in the conflicts of the C20; * Architectural interest: an unusual form of memorial cross, its octagonal plan effectively used to commemorate the dead of eight villages within the parish; * Group value: with the Grade II-listed Memorial To Norwegian Sailors On North Side Of Embleton Cemetery (1917). History The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England, both as a result of the huge impact the loss of three quarters of a million British lives had on communities and the official policy of not repatriating the dead, which meant that the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss. Embleton War Memorial was unveiled at an ecumenical service on 24 July 1921 by Viscount Grey of Falloden, in commemoration of 52 local servicemen who died during the First World War. It was dedicated by Revered FC Paul. Designed by Messrs Knowles, Oliver and Leeson of Newcastle, carved by JP Whittle of Amble, and erected by JG Green and Sons of Warkworth, the memorial was funded by public subscription. Following the Second World War the details of 11 men who died in that conflict were added: these changes were unveiled on 25 September 1949 by Captain JS Salter DSO (related to Viscount Grey by marriage). Messrs Knowles, Oliver and Leeson also designed the Grade II-listed war memorial at Cullercoats, whilst JG Green and Sons were responsible for Denwick War Memorial (Alnwick) (Grade II-listed) and Compton Abdale War Memorial (Gloucs). JP Whittle carved a number of war memorials, predominantly tablets, but also the freestanding memorial cross at Chevington (Grade II). Details The memorial stands in Embleton Cemetery, not far from the Grade II-listed headstone marking the grave of the crew members of Pollux, a Norwegian steamer torpedoed by a German submarine in 1917. The tall cross of Greenlaw Quarry stone is octagonal in section, with cross arms that only slightly project from the shaft. The base of the cross shaft swells slightly to form a foot, the front face of which is carved with a blind arch. The recessed face of the arch is inscribed with the principal dedicatory inscription TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN GRATEFUL/ AND LASTING/ REMEMBRANCE OF/ THE MEN OF THE/ ECCLESIASTICAL/ PARISH EMBLETON/ WHO FELL IN/ THE WARS OF/ 1914 1918/ 1939 1945/ ERECTED BY/ THE PARISHIONERS. A similar blind arch to the rear is inscribed LEST/ WE/ FORGET. The cross rises from an octagonal plinth, which stands on a low octagonal step. Each face of the plinth records the commemorated names, organised by village. Second World War names have been added, following on from the original First World War names. The dedications are EMBLETON/ (12 NAMES), BRUNTON/ (3 NAMES), STAMFORD/ (5 NAMES), CHRISTON BANK/ (2 NAMES), CRASTER/ (16 NAMES), NEWTON BY THE SEA/ (8 NAMES), FALLODEN/ (1 NAME), DUNSTAN/ (5 NAMES).

Reasons for Designation Felton War Memorial, which stands on Riverside, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on this local community, and the sacrifice it has made in the conflicts of the C20; * Architectural interest: a richly ornamented cross in the Celtic style; * Group value: with a number of adjacent Grade II-listed structures and with the scheduled and Grade II* listed Felton Old Bridge. History Felton War Memorial was unveiled on 17 October 1920 by Colonel EPA Riddell DSO, in commemoration of the local servicemen who died in the First World War. Following the Second World War the details of a further 12 men were added to the memorial: John C Riddell of Barrasford, Colonel Riddell?s nephew, unveiled the additions on 10 July 1949. The memorial was restored in 1995. Details The c5m tall Aberdeen granite memorial stands at the roadside, on the north bank of the River Coquet. It takes the form of a Celtic cross, richly ornamented with complex interlace patterns carved in low relief on the wheel-head and cross shaft. The shaft rises from a small pedestal. The pedestal stands on a tapering plinth and the whole is raised on a square three-stepped base.

Reasons for Designation Greenhead Memorial Cross, which stands on the B6318 to the north of the Church of St Cuthbert, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on this local community, and the sacrifice it has made in the conflicts of the C20; * Architectural interest: an elegant memorial cross in Portland stone; * Group value: with the Church of St Cuthbert and the Memorial Drinking Fountain (both Grade II-listed). History The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England, both as a result of the huge impact the loss of three quarters of a million British lives had on communities and the official policy of not repatriating the dead, which meant that the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss. Greenhead Memorial Cross was unveiled at an ecumenical service on 13 November 1920 by Colonel EPA Riddell CMG DSO. It commemorates 20 local servicemen who died during the First World War. The memorial was funded by public subscription. Following the Second World War the names of nine men who died in that conflict were added. Details MATERIALS: Portland stone cross, sandstone base. DESCRIPTION: The memorial stands at the roadside to the north of the Church of St Cuthbert (Grade II-listed) and adjacent to the Grade II-listed Memorial Drinking Fountain (1865, in memory of John Blenkinsop Coulson). It is within the Frontiers of the Roman Empire (Hadrian's Wall) World Heritage Site Buffer Zone. Approximately 5m tall, the memorial takes the form of a slender early-medieval cross with a hemispherical boss at the centre of the cross arms and ornament outlining the cross shaft. The moulded foot of the cross shaft rises from a low, tapering, pedestal, that stands on a two-stepped base. The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the base reads TO THE IMMORTAL MEMORY OF THE/ MEN FROM THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 ? 1919/ IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR/ KING AND COUNTRY. The commemorated First World War names are recorded to the sides of the pedestal. A small stone plaque reclining on the steps to the front reads 1939 ? 1945/ (NAMES).

History The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across the country. This was the result of both the huge impact on communities of the loss of three quarters of a million British lives, and also the official policy of not repatriating the dead: therefore the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss. One such memorial was raised at Heddon-on-the-Wall as a permanent testament to the sacrifices made by the members of the local community who lost their lives in the First World War. By common consent the village pond was drained and the land, donated by Sir James Knott, turned over for the memorial. The memorial cross was unveiled on 11 November 1922 by Sir Loftus Bruce, commemorating 16 local servicemen who died in the First World War. The memorial cost #170, raised by public subscription: the foundations were donated by the Throckley Coal Company. A garden with various facilities was laid out around the memorial at the expense of Sir James Knott, and opened on 11 November 1925. Sir James and his wife gave the garden to the community in memory of their sons James (d1916) and Henry (d1915), who are buried beside one another in Ypres Reservoir Cemetery. Following the Second World War the names of six men who died in that conflict were added to the cross. Both the memorial cross and the garden were enclosed with railings, which have since been lost. Details The memorial cross stands in the Heddon-on-the-Wall Memorial Park off the Hexham Road, within the scheduled area of Hadrian's Wall and vallum from East Town House, Heddon-on-the-Wall to the A69 trunk road in wall mile 12. It is within the Frontiers of the Roman Empire (Hadrian?s Wall) World Heritage Site. The memorial cross takes the form of a Celtic cross, c4m tall and made of granite. The front face of the cross is ornamented with a reversed sword carved in low relief. The cross shaft rises from a pedestal, square on plan and with rounded corners, which stands on a four-stepped base. The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads: TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF/ THOSE FROM THIS PARISH/ WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY DURING THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 ? 1918/ (16 NAMES)/ ?SO THEY PASSED OVER, AND ALL THE TRUMPETS/ SOUNDED FOR THEM ON THE OTHER SIDE. The Second World War inscription, on the riser of the top step, reads: ALSO TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL/ IN THE SECOND GREAT WAR 1939 ? 1945./ (NAMES). Whilst the memorial garden?s railings have been lost (thought to have been taken in the Second World War scrap metal drive) the low, coped, stone wall which carried the railings still encloses the garden, including gate piers to the west side. A short length of the wall on the north side remains only as foundations. A bronze plaque on the left-hand gate pier records the creation of the park. The West Yorkshire Regiment?s battle honour for India and the Northumberland Fusiliers? badge are cast in roundels in low relief to the top of the plaque.

One such memorial was raised at Lucker as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by the members of the local community who lost their lives in the First World War. The memorial was dedicated by the Bishop of Newcastle on 13 November 1920. It commemorates 13 local servicemen who died in the First World War. The memorial was designed by Professor Hatton of Armstrong College, and carved by Edwin Smyth of Sunderland. Messrs Tully and Sons of Belford prepared the foundations and base. Following the Second World War the names of one nurse and two servicemen who died in that conflict were added. Richard George Hatton (1864-1926), modeller, silversmith, enameller, painter and author, was born in Birmingham. He taught at the Birmingham Central School of the Municipal School of Art in the 1880s, moving to Newcastle-upon-Tyne by 1891. In 1899 he formed the Newcastle Handicrafts Company, later becoming professor at the King Edward VII School of Art, Armstrong College (University of Durham). The Hatton Gallery, Newcastle, was founded in his honour in 1925. His other war memorial design was the commemorative stained glass window in St James? Church, Shilbottle. Edwin Smyth (active 1920-1957) was a sculptor and mason, born in Sunderland. He was apprenticed as a stone mason circa 1900 and studied at Sunderland School of Art. Messrs Tully and Sons of Belford, builders and masons, were also responsible for work on the war memorials at Lowick, Wooler and Belford (all Grade II-listed). Details The memorial stands in the road junction opposite The Old Vicarage and the Old Vicarage?s Garden Walls, Gatepiers, and Gates (all Grade II-listed). The tall memorial, more than 5m tall and made in Doddington Sandstone, comprises an equal-armed cross rising from a gabled pillar. The pillar is square in section, with a blind arch to each side. The pillar stands on a three-stage base, which stands on a step.

Reasons for Designation Matfen War Memorial, which stands on the village green, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on this local community, and the sacrifices it has made in the conflicts of the C20; * Architectural interest: an elegant cross decorated with carved interlace patterns, in the Celtic style; * Groups value: with numerous Grade II-listed buildings around the village green. History The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across the country. This was the result of both the huge impact on communities of the loss of three quarters of a million British lives, and also the official policy of not repatriating the dead: therefore the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss. One such memorial was raised at Matfen as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by the members of the local community who lost their lives in the First World War. The memorial cross was unveiled on 1 May 1920 by Lt-Col Sir Percy Wilkinson and dedicated by the vicar, Reverend H Doudney. Made by William Cresswell of Hexham, the memorial commemorates 22 local servicemen who died in the First World War. Following the Second World War a further three names of men who died in that conflict were added. William Creswell of Hexham, stone mason, was also responsible for the freestanding war memorial at Hexham (Grade II-listed), and for war memorials in the village hall, Langley-on-Tyne, and in St Mary?s Roman Catholic Church, Hexham. Details The memorial stands at the east end of the village green in an enclosed area, in close proximity to a number of Grade II-listed buildings, including the C19 drinking fountain and the Church of the Holy Trinity. It takes the form of a tall Celtic cross. The front face of the wheel-head is ornamented with interlace patterns carved in relief and a central hemispherical boss. The tapering cross shaft rises from a small pedestal, rectangular on plan, that stands on a three-stepped base. The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads: TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE OF THE MEN/ OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR/ KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 ? 1918/ (4 NAMES). The remaining names are inscribed on the two side faces of the pedestal. To the rear, the Second World War dedication reads: GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS/ THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE/ FOR HIS FRIENDS./ 1939 ? 1945./ (3 NAMES).
