Description
The Eastgate War Memorial is a granite structure located in the churchyard of All Saints church. It features a small wheel-head cross atop a tall rectangular pedestal, which stands on a plain rectangular base. The east face of the pedestal is inscribed with the words "OUR FALLEN HEROES" above a plain Latin cross. Below this inscription is a plaque listing the names of four servicemen who died during the First World War. The inscription continues with "WORLD WAR 1939-45/ (1 NAME)/ GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT/ A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS."
On the west face of the pedestal, there is a small rectangular plaque at the top that reads "MEN WHO SERVED IN/ THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919." Below this, a shield-shaped plaque records 18 names. The final inscription on this face states, "WHO STANDS IF FREEDOM FALL,/ WHO DIES IF ENGLAND LIVES?"
