Castleton War Memorial lit up for Remembrance
Date published: 08 November 2020
The Castleton War Memorial is now illuminated at night time, thanks to a new floodlight
The Castleton War Memorial has been lit up with a new floodlight, so it is illuminated at night time.
The poignant village green memorial was installed in the summer of 2018 by volunteers, just in time for the centenary of the end of the Great War.
Castleton had previously never had a memorial for the fallen before, despite many of the village’s young men fighting in the World Wars.
The floodlight, located on the lamppost opposite the memorial, was paid for through ward funds and was installed in time for Remembrance Sunday (8 November).
