"Kirkburton Memorial Garden
The Kirkburton Memorial Garden was dedicated in 1921 to commemorate the sixty men from the village who died in the Great War.

After the war a committee was established to find the best way of honouring those men who made the supreme sacrifice. They approached William Douglas Caroe, a leading architect in the Arts and Crafts Movement, who produced the design for a memorial cross, known to local people as ‘the Cenotaph’.

A public appeal was launched to cover the estimated cost of £400 and a former vicar, the Rev. Canon Richard Phipps, offered part of Church Croft, a small park he had purchased and created just to the north of the Police Station to mark his time at Kirkburton and the Coronation of George V.

The Memorial was unveiled on Saturday 18th of June at 3pm. On the day, members of the organising Committee, the Urban District Council, veterans and relatives of the fallen, assembled at the Council Offices at the bottom of Hallas Road. Led by the Kirkburton Victoria Brass Band, they marched to Church Croft, where an impressive combined service was led by clergy of the village churches and chapels, along with their choirs, under the direction of Mr Irvin Copley. The monument, which was adorned with a large number of wreaths and flowers, was unveiled by Colonel Armytage.

The Last Post and the Reveille were sounded and the Secretary of the Old Comrades Association, Mr George Parrett, read-out the names of the fallen.

After a short address by Col Armytage, Canon Phipps dedicated the memorial and the vicar, the Rev Frank Harold Sangster, pronounced the blessing.

After the ceremony Canon Phipps handed over the deeds of the Croft to the Chairman of the Urban District Council to be held by them in trust as a small public park.

In 1924 Benjamin Green’s name was added to the memorial after he died following surgery on wounds he received in the war."
