South Moor, St. James Church
Centre plaque:
To the Glory of God
and in memory of
the men whose names
are here recorded who
cheerfully gave their
lives for freedom and
the England they loved
so well in the Great War
1914-1919
their relatives
have erected this tablet
and adjoining cross
----------
“Above the graves of heroes
The wooden crosses grow,
Who shall no more see Durham,
Nor any place they know,
Where fell tops face the morning
And great winds blow.
Who loving as none other
The land that is their mother,
Unfaltering renounced her
Because they loved her so.”
W.N. Hodgson
