Just up the road from St Cuthbert's cross is a memorial in front of the church hall is a small cross dedicated to those who fell related to the church. For some reason it is quite insignificant. I have driven and cycled past quite a few times and not noticed it. I have added the dedication stones of the hall to this blogpage, they are dated in the early 1920's. The church hall has predated the memorial by only a few years. The names on this memorial are also on the memorial in Hastings place
