Sutton-in-Ashfield St Michael and All Angels

War Memorial

The war memorial
at its new site

On 20th August 1921 a memorial in honour of the 227 men of St Michael's parish who fell in the Great War was unveiled at the church by Lieutenant-Colonel A. B. Smith. The service was attended by over 300 relatives of the dead.

The memorial is in the form of a foliated cross in Early English style and was designed by Louis Ambler, architect of the church nave.

It originally stood in front of the west window of the church but, after restoration by stonemason Mark Stafford, it was erected on a new site at the junction of Downing Street and Mansfield Road in 2009.

Further information on the monument is available on the Nottinghamshire Roll of Honour website.
