Notes

1. This was neglected for many years behind overgrowth. It was tidied up in 2000 and used for a ceremony on Remembrance Day.

2. The memorial was fully refurbished with a new
Yorkshire stone mount and overhanging plinth, the actual plate removed and acid bathed, and brought back to its former glory in 2014.
This was paid in full by Carlton Parish Council.
