War Memorial, Portwood, Stockport.

War Memorial, Portwood, Stockport.

Location

Carrington Road & St Paul's Street, Portwood, Stockport. In the grounds of St Paul's church, now demolished.

Description

A stone cross in memory of the men of Portwood who fell in the two world wars.

No names are recorded on this memorial. The names of some Methodists from Portwood are recorded on a memorial in Willow Grove, Reddish, and I would expect Portwood men to be among those listed on Stockport War Memorial
