Burnopfield War Memorial

The Burnopfield War Memorial is located in a small garden at the junction of Front Street and New Road. It features a tall polished granite obelisk that is square in shape, rising from the top of a tapering plinth with a pediment. The plinth has a four-stage base and is surrounded by a low stone kerb, which previously included a chain suspended from low pillars. Each face of the plinth’s pediment is adorned with wreaths carved in low relief.

The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads: "IN THANKFUL RECOGNITION OF/ THE MEN WHO GAVE THEIR SERVICES/ AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THOSE/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN/ THE GREAT WAR (NAMES)/ GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAT THIS/ THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR/ HIS FRIENDS/ ERECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF/ BURNOPFIELD AND DISTRICT." Below this inscription, the dates 1914 – 1918 are also carved in low relief. The names of those commemorated are inscribed on the other faces of the plinth, with all inscriptions being gilded.
