Notes	Summary of Building First World War memorial, 1921. Reasons for Designation Hallington War Memorial, which stands at the roadside to the south of the crossroads c200m to the east of Hallington Mill, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on this local community, and the sacrifice it has made in the First World War; * Architectural interest: an imposing granite cross; * Degree of survival: unusually, the memorial has not been adapted for Second World War commemoration, and thus retains its original design intent. History Hallington War Memorial was unveiled on 5 September 1921 by Colonel EPA Riddell CMG DSO and dedicated by the Rector, Reverend WW Lunden. It commemorates six local servicemen who died during the First World War. The memorial was paid for by public subscription, whilst the plot of land was given by Mr W Stephenson of Elands Green. The cross was sculpted by RB Aves of Hexham. Details The memorial stands at the roadside to the south of the crossroads c200m to the east of Hallington Mill. It takes the form of a tall Cornish granite cross with chamfered edges that rises from a rough-hewn pedestal. The pedestal stands on a two-stepped, square, base. The inscription, in metal letters applied to the smoothed front face of the pedestal, reads IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE/ MEN FROM HALLINGTON AND BINGFIELD/ DISTRICT WHO SERVED 1914-1918/ THE FOLLOWING DIED FOR ENGLAND/ (NAMES)/ THEY SOUGHT THE GLORY OF THEIR COUNTRY,/ THEY SEE THE GLORY OF GOD.
