A Son of the Rock

The Parish is Kilrenny but since most of the war dead in the Great War were from Cellardyke the memorial was placed in Cellardyke, in a commanding position overlooking the sea. Steps lead up to it.

It has an unusual three-sided appearance:-

Dedication. “Erected in proud and reverent memory of those connected with the Parish of Kilrenny who laid down their lives in the Great War 1914 1918.”

The three panels, above two of which are listed the Great War dead, are decorated with a wreath over crossed swords (under the dedication,) a soldier:-

and a sailor:-

The three “edges” are surmounted by stone lions with shields below respectively showing Kilrenny’s coat of arms:-

a steam drifter:-

and a plough:-
