Distington War Memorial
Distington War Memorial commemorates the Fallen of Distington, Pica, Winscales and Dyonside.
The memorial commemorates 53 local servicemen who fell in the First World War and 21 men who fell in the Second World War. It comprises a silver grey granite obelisk with a moulded foot incorporating carved swags, set upon a tall four-sided plinth with a deep cornice and a two-tiered moulded foot that includes a relief-carved sheathed sword to the south face. The whole stands upon a three-tiered square base. The plinth bears the inscriptions in leaded lettering and includes the regiment or service of those commemorated.
The monument was made by Messrs Beattie and Co and cost around £420, paid for by public subscription, and was unveiled on 16 April 1921 by Major C A Valentine TD, of Ellerkeld, Workington, and dedicated by the Reverend T Foster Edwards.
The memorial was restored in 1992 and was moved a short distance from its original location in 2001 due to road improvements.
