The Township of Cramahe Cenotaph was unveiled on August 11, 1920, and dedicated to the men from the area who fought and to those who died in the First World War. A granite stele is mounted on a two-step concrete base that tapers upward with carvings on the front and back. In front, four round concrete stones are engraved with one of four significant battle sites of the First World War: Courcellette, Mons, Ypres and Vimy Ridge.

The cenotaph was erected by the Township of Cramahe and the Castleton Woman’s Institute. The Institute organized plays on fair nights, under the direction of Miss E.G. Pomeroy, teas, and many other community events to raise funds for the memorial.

In the Spring of 2015, the wrought iron fence surrounding the cenotaph was completed.

In May 1919, a Memorial Committee discussed a Wayside Cross to be erected in memory of those who served in the First World War and in May 1920 the Committee decided on an Iona Cross of Canadian grey granite. The cross was a gift from Trinity College School Ladies' Guild and dedicated on June 11, 1922.

After a service in the chapel, the choir proceeded to the Cross followed by students in two long lines. The boys lined on each side of the Cross in a broad V facing north and to the south stood the choir in four ranks. Sixteen Old Boys, cadets at the Royal Military College, formed a guard of honour in a hollow square on the north side. To the east stood the Headmaster, Dr. Bethune and First World War Veteran Major-General Sir A.C. MacDonell, who unveiled the cross. Mrs. Lawrence Baldwin, on behalf of the Ladies' Guild, made a formal presentation of the Cross. The act of dedication was performed by Dr. Bethune.

The Trenton Cenotaph was constructed in 1968 and dedicated in memory of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. Walter Gregory's design was chosen from a competition in 1967. The cost was covered by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 110, its Ladies' Auxiliary and Branch 579 Quinte Ex Service Women.

Carl Taylor supervised construction and obtained the materials and contractors. The materials included rocks from an old Trenton post office representing the strong base Canadians rose from. Its triangular shape represents the three main branches of service, Army, Air Force and Navy. A broken column suggests lives that were cut off too early.

In 1988, it was rededicated in memory of the fallen of all conflicts. Two benches were added: one for the rededication and the second dedicated to the six crew lost in the sinking of HMCS Trentonian.
