English: The graveyard war memorial, St Bees priory, Cumbria. It was designed by the famous scholar of Northumbrian art W G Collingwood, who was John Ruskin's secretary, at the request of Lt-Col George Dixon. The other war memorial, "St George and the Dragon", designed by local artist J D Kenworthy, is at the railway station. |

W.G. Collingwood, who had been John Ruskin's secretary, drew up a design for a memorial based upon the old cross shaft in the Priory graveyard. This design was used for the official Village memorial by the Lych Gate. However, J.D. Kenworthy of Seacroft, who had lost his eldest son in the War, thought that memorial lacked impact and was in the wrong place, so he erected the imposing "St. George & the Dragon" memorial by the Station. Today both are looked after by the Parish Council as village war memorials.
