The memorial stands in open moorland on Ainthorpe Lane, Castleton; serving as the memorial for both Castleton & Danby. This image possibly dates from the dedication of the memorial in October 1921, by Viscount Downe and Baron Dawnay. Cheryl Himsworth advises: “My great grandfather unveiled this memorial. He was given the honour as he had lost the most sons from the area in the Great War.”
