The Rawmarsh War Memorial is in the form of a Cenotaph, located on the High Street by the junction with Westfield Road and Church Street. The memorial is close to the Church of St. Mary the Virgin.
The memorial commemorates the names of 325 men who lost their lives in the First World War, and 70 men from the Second World War. A transcript of all the names can be found on the GENUKI website.
