War Memorials and War Graves in Harlow

An illustrated war memorial book, which has been produced as part of Harlow’s World War One centenary, has been produced by the Harlow Council in partnership with local residents and community groups.  It can now be read online at www.harlow.gov.uk/ww1

It is a fascinating record of all those soldiers with a connection to Harlow who gave their lives during the First World War. 

The work includes those named on the following War Memorials:
Great Parndon Memorial Cross
Netteswell & Burnt Mill Memorial Cross
Potter Street, Latton and surrounding district Memorial Cross
Old Harlow Memorial Cross

This is an ongoing project and will be updated with new photos and information as time goes on.


The Essex Society for Archaeology and History has obtained a hard copy of the 'first edition' for accession to its own Library at the University of Essex. 

In addition a war memorials and war graves map is being produced by the First World War project team to complement the book.
