Description
Stands in the front garden of the doctor's surgery. Unveiled on 15th September 1923 by John Morrison of Cramlington Coal Co. Marble statue of a woman, 3m high, in a long dress and cloak with bare feet. One hand is on an anchor. Sandstone pedestal on a stepped base. The statue has been moved so that it did not block the entrance to the new surgery. It was originally on a two-tier sandstone platform. The figure might be St. Barbara, patron saint of miners {Jack Grieves, NEWMP}. English Heritage say it is likely to represent Hope. "THIS WAR MEMORIAL AND HOSPITAL ARE ERECTED IN HONOURED MEMORY OF OUR MEN WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 {58 names} and 1939-1945" {20 names}. LISTED GRADE 2

Stands in the front garden of the doctor's surgery. The figure might be St. Barbara, patron saint of miners {Jack Grieves, NEWMP}.
This war memorial was listed Grade II in 2012 with the following description:
History
Following the First World War, funds to erect this memorial and a cottage hospital were partially raised by a self-imposed levy upon the pay of local miners. The hospital and memorial were unveiled at a ceremony on 15th September 1923, performed by J Morrison, MD of Cramlington Coal Company and Dr J Wishart; the service was conducted by Rev. J Burdon. The war memorial was moved to its present position, and turned through 90 degrees in c. 1986 when the cottage hospital was replaced by the present surgery.
Details
First World War memorial with Second World War additions.
Two-stepped sandstone base with a plinth surmounted by a marble female figure c. 3m high in a long dress and cloak. Her left arm is leaning on an anchor, and she is likely to be a personification of Hope. The dedication and some of the names of the Fallen are listed, in black lettering, in a single column on the front of the pedestal with more names on the sides.
The inscription reads: DUDLEY WAR MEMORIAL / THIS MONUMENT AND HOSPITAL / ARE ERECTED IN HONOURED MEMORY / OF OUR MEN WHO FELL IN THE / GREAT WAR 1914 -1918/(58 NAMES) AND 1939-1945 (20 NAMES).
