THE CENOTAPH

The Cenotaph lies between the Lord Nelson Inn and St. Mary's Church. It was built in 1923 on land originally owned by The Lord Nelson where previously stood a smithy and blacksmith shop.

The Cenotaph includes a list of those men lost from the village in World War 1. Later a list of those lost in WW2 was added.

But as part of the local history of World War One it is interesting to also look at the various Rolls of Honour that preceeded it.

WORK in PROGRESS

The history of the Midgley and Luddenden War Memorial will be added here.
