Hunwick War Memorial, enclosure and railings

Hunwick War Memorial is located just inside the cemetery entrance on Church Lane. Made of grey granite and standing approximately 3.5 meters tall, it features a small wheel-head cross atop a tapering square column. The column is set on a pedestal, which in turn rests on a three-stepped base. The memorial is surrounded by a kerb that creates a square enclosure, topped with a low wrought iron railing.

The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads: "IN HONOUR AND TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THE PARISH OF HUNWICK AND HELMINGTON, WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE DURING THE GREAT WAR." Below this, the dates 1914 – 1919 are carved in low relief on the riser of the top step. The inscription “THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE.” is found on the riser of the middle step. The names of those who served in the First World War are recorded on the other three sides of the pedestal.

The base of the column is set apart from the pedestal by an astragal. Below this moulding, the front face of the column is adorned with a wreath carved in low relief, encircling the dates 1939/ 1945. The names commemorating those who served in the Second World War are listed on the other faces of the column.
