Description
East Ord War Memorial is located on the village green. It features a small Latin cross on a tall, rough-hewn cross shaft, which is set on a pedestal made of rough stone blocks, square in shape. This pedestal is placed on a broad, tapering plinth, also square, which rests on a three-stepped base. The memorial is enclosed by a low stone kerb, which is marked by nine pyramidal rough-hewn stone pillars that support a metal rail.
The main dedicatory inscription is displayed on a white marble plaque on the front of the pedestal, stating: "IN REVERED MEMORY OF THE MEN/ OF ORD PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ (3 NAMES)/ “WE FEEBLY STRUGGLE/ THEY IN GLORY SHINE.” Above this plaque, the words "LEST WE FORGET" are carved into the stonework of the pedestal. A second white marble plaque commemorating the Second World War is attached to the front of the plinth, which reads: "1939 – 1945/ (8 NAMES)."
