Marple War Memorial

The memorial and park that it sits in, was built on land given by the Carver and Barlow families who both had relatives killed in the Great War. The Memorial was unveiled on 22nd July 1922 and modified after the Second World War with the addition of two granite slabs. The latest addition was that of Corporal Danny Winters name being added to the main plinth.

It lists the names of 141 men who died during the Great War, 50 from the Second Wold War and one more recently from Afghanistan. Also listed is John Stanhope COLLINGS-WELLS Marple's only holder of the Victoria Cross.
