Broomley and Bywell parishes near Stocksfield wanted to raise a memorial to the Fallen of the First World War.

Lord Allendale had promised to give a site for the monument and if sufficient funds were raised it was planned to build a memorial cottage for a district nurse.

Lord Allendale also agreed to let several acres of land adjoining the village school to be used as a recreation ground.
