CHEADLE HULME WAR MEMORIAL

Location: Manor Road and Ravenoak Road, Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire

History: The site for the memorial was agreed at a subscribers’ meeting in 1919. The foundation stone was laid on 2 June 1920 and it had been hoped to have it completed by that year’s Armistice Day. The architect, Professor Beresford Pike, reported that this would not possible “owing to the disruption of industries and the uncertainty of railway travel”. The formal unveiling ceremony took place on 29 May 1921 with a dedication ceremony being conducted by Rev Tyson. The “Last Post” was played by members of the Cheshire Regiment. This will have been particularly moving for Rev Tyson as his son Alexander is commemorated on the memorial.

Masonry work was undertaken by FM & H Nuttall, Whitefield. The sculptures are by Benjamin Clemens and the bronze tablets were made by John Morgan & Sons, London. The land for the memorial garden was donated by the Freehold Society and the cost of the memorial was £1300 –raised by public subscription

Inscriptions:

“Erected by the inhabitants of Cheadle Hulme. To the glorious memory of the men and women who fell in the wars 1914 – 1918 and 1939 – 1945”

“They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them or the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”
