What is a War Memorial?

So what do you think a War Memorial looks like? Is it an imposing municipal monument?


Barnsley War Memorial in front of the Town Hall

Or a cross in a churchyard?


Memorial outside St Mary Magdalene church at Lundwood

Are memorials all gloriously decorated?


Memorial Plaque in St Edward's church, Kingstone

Or can they be rustic and very simple?



The lychgate at St Leonard's church Wortley
and the memorial plaques just inside the gateway

A war memorial can look like other things ...


Memorial to Bernard Joyner in St John's church Cudworth



Memorial window in St John's Church Cudworth

A war memorial can even be a gravestone (as long as it's not where the deceased is actually buried!)

John Thomas Johnson, died from wounds in 1917
remembered on his parents' gravestone in Monk Bretton cemetery

Do you know of any unusual war memorials in the Barnsley area?
We would like to record them and preserve the information on them for posterity.

Please get in touch.  Contact us.

The War Memorial Tablet in St Paul's Church predates this memorial and lists five fewer WW1 men, but usefully includes the regiment or ship of each man.

The names of the fallen were first inscribed on the pillars which formed the entrance to the Monk Bretton recreation ground in 1928.  An application was made to Corporation in November 1927 for permission to carve the names of the fallen to this existing structure and a further note is made in the Chronicle in June 1928 with reference to this. 

At some point the pillars were moved to the other side of Cross Street, where they now stand in a small garden.  WW2 names were added to two sides of the pillars, and there is also a name from the Korean War recorded.

The dates 1939 and 1945 were added to the front of the pillars in autumn 2014.

A Friends of Monk Bretton War Memorial group was organised in 2014 to maintain and improve the area around the memorial.  They hope to install information boards with stories of the men named on the memorial in the future.

Launching the Barnsley War Memorials Project

The first meeting of the Barnsley War Memorials Project was held today, 21st November 2013.  Called in response to the realisation that Barnsley, unlike many other towns and cities around the country, has no central Roll of Honour to remember the Fallen of World War One, this first meeting sought to establish the aims of the Project and its scope.

It was agreed that, in recognition of the forthcoming Centenary of the First World War, the first part of the Project would concentrate on gathering information on the casualties of that war although information collected in the process concerning the Second World War and subsequent conflicts would be safely collated for the later stages of the Project. 

We would love to collect the name of every man and woman from or connected to Barnsley who has ever served this country whether they survived the conflict in which they were engaged or whether they became a casualty, however it was decided to start with a narrower scope allowing us to complete our first assigned task within the Centenary years. 

It was also agreed that the Project should include the names of the Fallen of Barnsley who did not serve in the armed forces, for example Merchant Seamen and civilians lost in military action wherever it is possible to obtain this information.

A small group of interested people met today to discuss this project, but more enthusiastic volunteers are needed.  We are especially keen to recruit people who already have an interest in war memorials, or the history of the armed forces who can share their expertise with the group. 

Another meeting will be arranged in the New Year, to be held in Barnsley Town Hall, and will be widely publicised to attract as many interested parties as possible. Many hands make light work!
