Memorial Description:

Panels “covering the whole of the east wall and south side of the chancel arch, and the doorway to the vestry has also been included.

It is a magnificent piece of craftsmanship, and forms one of the most beautiful memorials in the district.

Round the doorway is carved the Tree of Life; it has a Latin cross in the centre, over which two angels are holding a crown.

At the side underneath are the words “Mors Janua Vitae” (“Death is the door to life”).

To the left of the door are four figures, representing the four Patron Saints.

At the top there is the shamrock, rose and thistle.

In the middle of the rose there figures St. Cuthbert’s Cross, in gold, and below are the arms of Stockton and the inscription to the fallen.

To the right of the door is a centre panel, beautifully carved, and there the flowers are the daffodil, with St. Cuthbert’s Cross, and underneath are the words “Pro Deo, Pro Rege, Pro Patria” (“For God, for King, For Country”).

The names of the fallen appear on three large bronze tablets with the inscription “Their Name liveth for evermore”.

Names:

(112 men of the parish and 28 men from associated parish of Preston who fell).

Notes:

1. “There was a memorial tablet here, but with increasing dereliction and vandalism of the building it was taken to St. Peter’s and put in storage. When St. Peter’s was damaged by fire the tablet was burnt.” (Simon Raine)
