W.G. Collingwood, who had been John Ruskin's secretary drew up a design for a memorial based upon the old cross shaft in the Priory graveyard. This design was used for the official Village memorial by the Lych Gate. However, J.D. Kenworthy of Seacroft, who had lost his eldest son in the War, thought that memorial lacked impact and was in the wrong place, so he erected the imposing "St. George & the Dragon" memorial by the Station. Today both are looked after by the Parish Council as village war memorials.
