Description
The Hallgarth War Memorial is located to the south of the Church of St Laurence, which is a Grade I-listed building. This memorial takes the form of a tall stone Calvary. It features a hooded cross head that rises from a heavily moulded collar on a tapering shaft. The shaft is set upon a pedestal with a two-stage base, which in turn rests on an octagonal step.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads: "IN THANKSGIVING TO GOD FOR THE DEAR AND HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO WILLINGLY OFFERED THEMSELVES AND LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR US FOR OUR COUNTRY AND FOR THE LIBERTY OF THE WORLD." The names of those commemorated from the First World War are recorded on the other sides of the pedestal, while the names from the Second World War are listed on the upper surface of the top stage of the base.
