Cotton War Memorial

The Cotton College memorial is in the car park for the Faber Catholic Primary School. Access can be made through a small well kept graveyard. The memorial was moved here, from its previous location in the grounds of St.Wilfrids, in 2016 following the closure of the church in 2010. There are 40 names from the First World war and 10 from the Second.

Sodalibus qui contra infestissimus hostes fortiter

dimicantes pro patria fratribusque animae

pepercere filii S.Wilfridi ad perpetuam

beneficii memoriam gratissimi dedicarunt

Approximate translation “Members who are strongly against the hostile enemy to fight for their country and one’s brothers and of the soul, The eternal withheld St.Wilfrid benefits most dedicated memory”
