EXTRACTS FROM THE LISTS OF BUILDINGS OF SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORIC INTEREST FOR THE BOROUGH OF DARLINGTON Updated 01/11/2016 Economic Initiative Division Darlington Borough Council INTRODUCTION WHAT THIS DOCUMENT REPRESENTS This document consists of an export from a Listed Buildings database maintained by Darlington Borough Council. The data has been captured from various statutory lists that have been compiled over the years by the Secretary of State for different parts of the Borough. Some of the information has been amended for clarity where a building has been demolished/de- listed, or an address has changed. Each entry represent a single ‘listing’ and these are arranged by parish or town. The vast majority of entries are in one-to-a-page format, although some of the more recent listings are more detailed and lengthy descriptions, spilling over to 2 or 3 pages. BACKGROUND The first listings, in what is now the Borough of Darlington, were made in 1952. The urban area was the subject of a comprehensive re-survey in 1977, and the rural area in 1986 (western parishes) and 1988 (eastern parishes). A number of formal changes to the lists have been made since, as individual buildings have been ‘spot-listed’, de-listed, had grades changed, descriptions altered and mistakes corrected. Further information on conservation in the Borough of Darlington can be found on our website. See www.planning.gov.uk/conservation.

Reasons for Designation Bishopton War Memorial, which stands on the green at the junction of High Street and Church View, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on this local community, and the sacrifice it has made in the conflicts of the C20; Group value: with the Church of St Peter (Grade II). History Bishopton War Memorial was unveiled on 12 August 1923 by Colonel Thomlinson and dedicated by the Venerable Canon Derry, Archdeacon of Auckland. It commemorates 14 local servicemen who died in the First World War. Following the Second World War, the names of two men who died in that conflict were added. Details The memorial stands on a green to the west of the Church of St Peter (Grade II-listed) in central Bishopton. The Cornish granite memorial comprises a Celtic cross rising from a tapered, square, plinth, that stands on a square, three-stepped, base. The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads IN/ PROUD MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918. The 14 First World War names are listed on the side faces and to the rear the Second World War dedication reads AND OF THE FOLLOWING/ WHO DIED IN/ THE WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945./ (2 NAMES).
