ACKWORTH WAR MEMORIAL

The memorial was erected to celebrate the Millenium Celebrations. It stands at the roadside adjacent to a roundabout within Ackworth. It takes the form of a square plinth of stone blocks, ten courses high, with a pyramidal cap and surmounted by a small Celtic style wheel cross on a two-stepped base. There are 83 names for World War 1 and 40 for World War 2. It was unveiled on 5th September 1999 by Dowager Lady St Oswald.
