War Memorials in the Borough of Rochdale

War memorials are a reminder of those people from our local communities lost in conflicts throughout history. They are unique and a special part of the place and represent a community’s method of remembrance, providing a strong link to the past. Memorials tend to have architectural or artistic interest and are significant landmarks.

The purpose of this report is to:

• Identify and provide a record of war memorials in the Borough

• Raise awareness of the importance and diverse range of war memorials

• Recognise the significance of war memorials in the conservation of local heritage, within the planning system

• Recommend actions, including repairs, protection and landscape improvement.

War memorials can include any monument created to those involved or affected by a conflict. The most prevalent and obvious form of memorial is the sculpture or cross, but they can take the form of plaques, furniture, rolls of honour, gardens, trees or buildings. In most cases the strong cultural significance of war memorials ensures their preservation. The most exceptional examples are statutory listed or benefit from other protection in the planning system, through being located within conservation areas or being identified on the Councils Register of Building of Local Value. Central Government Guidance (PPS5 – Planning for the Historic Environment) provides the basis for taking account of heritage significance in planning decisions. This report identifies each of the known memorials in the Borough, gives a brief description and identifies any management issues, including the need for maintenance or those examples suitable for listing or other protection. The report is primarily based on information held by the National Inventory of War Memorials. The War Memorials Trust has produced a number of guidance notes on issues relating war memorials and they also offer grants for repairs. Sources and further information:
