Acquired by the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue in 1878, and shared with Manchester New Synagogue from 1891. One of very few freestanding First World War memorials commemorating Jewish personnel in the UK stands in Urmston cemetery.

The war memorial commemorating 22 local servicemen from the Jewish community who died in the First World War, including sons of the memorial’s designer and donor, was unveiled in the cemetery in September 1919 at Rosh Hashana.
