Castletown memorial decision
From the Groat of February 25, 1921
The committee formed to establish a war memorial in Castletown agreed to go ahead with a design in the shape of a cross, despite objections locally.
The decision had been postponed following a public meeting at which disquiet at the design had been expressed.
On the motion of Dr Macgregor, a vote was held which was carried by 16 to three in favour of the cross.
