Malton and District War Memorial Project
The Malton and Norton Rotary Club War Memorial Project lists the casualties of the two world wars combined with a project to restore one of the six war memorials in the three towns.
The Malton and Norton Rotary Club War Memorial Project is divided into Five projects:
First: To involve the local schools, societies and community in all aspects of this project.
Second: The cleaning and restoration of the Malton War Memorial on Horsemarket Road,to make it accessible for the disabled and safer for those attending services on Remembrance Day.
Third: To provide digital access to the Memorial Book at St Peter's Church by using the Europeana Community website.
Fourth To erect a new plaque dedicated in remembrance of Malton men who died in WW1, WW2 and recent conflicts who are not recorded on the memorial. 16th September 2018
Fifth:To trace families of the fallen in the three towns by using the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site, local media records, census records and documents, letters and photos from the local community.
On Sunday 16th September 2018 the Memorial was re-dedicated by Sir Philip and Lady Isabella Naylor-Leyland on completion of the restoration of the memorial and dedication of a New Plaque to the memory of fourteen Malton men who died in all wars between 1914 and 1947.
'Malton Goes to War' is a history of the men and women commemorated on the Malton War Memorial. Written by John Howard, who co-produced this site -ISBN 978-1-98199263

The Malton and Norton Rotary Club War Memorial Project and details of the fallen.
As part of the project, the names of many of the fallen on the memorial have been recorded and their details traced using the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Census returns and other data bases. There are over one hundred names in all and these appear below together with details taken from the CWG certificate. There are at least six other memorials in the three towns and it is becoming evident that the final numbers of fallen will be far greater than first believed. If you can provide further details that can be added to this roll please contact Colin Jennings at minesagrouse@gmail.com or use the form at the bottom of this page
The Norton on Derwent War Memorial
The Norton on Derwent War Memorial is in the form of hand printed manuscript book that is lodged in the War Memorial chapel in the Church of St Peter's, Langton Road, Norton. There are twenty five pages each page listing the names of five fallen Norton residents. With the permission of the Church Council, the book was transported by Rotary to the British Library, Boston Spa, where it was digitized and placed on the Europeana 1914-18 web site. Research in to the names has just begun and details of their service record and family homes will then be shown on this page. To vew the book online go to

Comment: Hello, Walter Lightfoot RN, served as recorded on HMS Lynx, however before dying on the HMS Lynx that hit a mine when returning for repairs in Scotland, where Walter died (which is a protected war grave), his ship had chased off the Germans who had bombed Scarborough. I have his service history, and the destroyer maps showing HMS Lynx in lead pursuit. An interesting footnote.
