This war memorial consists of a small marble plaque which forms part of a dwarf wall in St James’ churchyard, Temple Normanton, Derbyshire. The memorial is dedicated to the men of the Parish who fell in World War I.
In 2013 War Memorials Trust gave a grant of £360 towards cleaning of the memorial plaque using non-metallic bristle brushes, pH neutral soap and water, re-painting of the lettering using a black enamel paint to the letters requiring it as well as re-fixing the plaque to a Yorkstone frame to match and finally re-pointing the areas surrounding the plaque using an appropriate lime mortar mix.
The memorial as created in 1919 and was originally located within the church but was moved outside at a later date.
