Notes:

1. “The congregation of St. Joseph’s R.C. Church, Stanley, has decided to erect a tower at the west end of the church in memory of fallen members. Generous promises of subscriptions have been made, and over £100 has been received by the treasurer of the memorial fund”. Northern Echo 1919. This never happened.

2. Although the memorial is in relatively good condition, there are cracks appearing in the wooden screens, which will need extensive repairs if not acted upon soon.
