Description

The Wall War Memorial is located on the green in the center of the village. It features a wheel-head cross in the Celtic style, made from Robin Hood stone. The front face of the cross head is decorated with five hemispherical bosses, and at the base of the cross shaft, there is a crown and other insignia carved in low relief. The moulded foot of the cross shaft rests on a square plinth made of coursed, rusticated stone blocks, which is set on a stepped base.

Four granite plaques, one on each side of the plinth, display inscriptions and names. The main dedicatory inscription on the front reads: "ERECTED/ BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION IN/ HONOUR OF THE MEN OF WALL/ AND DISTRICT, WHO SERVED IN/ THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919,/ OF WHOM THE FOLLOWING NINE/ GAVE THEIR LIVES, (NAMES)/ THEY JEOPARDISED THEIR LIVES/ UNTO THE DEATH." The names of other commemorated individuals are listed on the remaining three plaques.

At the bottom of the front face of the plinth, the dates 1939 – 1945 are incised below the granite plaque, along with the names of two individuals who served in the Second World War. The memorial is surrounded by a square stone kerb from Black Pasture Quarry, which is topped with wrought iron railings.
