Whalley War Memorial. 1921. Designed by Percy Worthington. Sandstone. A tall, tapering cross shaft with a gabled head over a relief of Christ, standing on a heavy square base bearing the names of the WW1 fatalities from the village; in front is an open book with the WW2 and later fatalities. The memorial is set at the top of steps within a landscaped area in front of the Grade II-listed Royal Grammar School.
HISTORY: the parish council launched a war memorial appeal in January 1919; in November 1919 a design by the prominent Manchester architect Percy Worthington was accepted, based on the design of the medieval cross at Madeley, Herefordshire. It cost ?800. The memorial was unveiled by General Shoubridge in September 1921. The memorial was adapted and re-dedicated in November 1948. An elegant example of the type, the war memorial has group value with the school behind and possesses civic presence.
