World War 2 Names on Buxton Memorials
The town’s main, ‘official’ War Memorial, stands on a hill – known locally as ‘The Slopes‘ overlooking the town centre and The Crescent.
On the rear side of the Memorial’s supporting plinth is a bronze plaque bearing the names of 132 men and 1 woman from the town who gave their lives in the Second World War.
In the last 10 years two additional smaller plaques have been added commemorating four local men who have perished in conflicts since World War 2.

The Memorial also contains the names of 315 men and 1 woman who gave their lives in World War 1, listed on three bronze plaques.
In addition, as well as The Slopes Memorial, the former outlying villages – now suburbs – have their own Memorials, often as separate structures and/or included in the Parish Churches, plus Memorials at workplaces, schools and in streets.
