Description
The Stillington War Memorial is located in a small garden, which was previously landscaped, on the south side of Messines Lane. It is designed as a Latin cross with an octagonal section, rising from a moulded collar on an octagonal shaft. This cross shaft is set atop the cap of a square pedestal, which is elevated on a two-stepped base.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads "1914 – 1918" in relief, followed by the words "ERECTED/ TO/ THE GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN/ THE GREAT WAR/ MAKE THEM TO BE NUMBERED WITH THY SAINTS / IN GLORY EVERLASTING" in incised lettering. The names of those commemorated from the First World War are listed on two faces of the pedestal, while the fourth face includes the inscription "AND/ TO COMMEMORATE/ THE/ RETURN/ OF/ 113 MEN."
Additionally, the chamfered tread of the pedestal’s base is inscribed with "AND/ IN MEMORY OF THE MEN/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR," and the years "1939" and "1945" are carved in low relief on the riser on either side of the names commemorating those from the Second World War.
