The
Courteenhall War Memorial is to be found opposite the gates of Courteenhall
House, Northampton Road, Courteenhall. It takes the form of a Celctic
cross on a pillar mounted on a hexagonal plinth and stone bench. There
are 13 names listed for World war 1 but these are now weathered and
hard to read. The names have been sorted into alphabetical order for
ease of reading and research.
