Newtongrange

Newtongrange war memorial is a stone column carrying an inscription. Two seperate stones carry names and are set in a garden which surrounds the memorial.

In 2002, a grant of £250 was made to clean and repair the memorial as well as adding names which were missing.

The inscription on the pillar reads:

"To the memory
of the lads
from this parish
who fell in the
Great War
1914 1918
&
World War II
1939 1946
Their name
liveth for
evermore

Erected by the Women’s Section
of the British Legion"
