Description
The Winton War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, with later additions for the Second World War. It is located within the churchyard of the Church of St Mary Magdalene.
The memorial is designed in the form of a Celtic cross set on an angled plinth, which is raised on a two-stepped base. The plinth features three sunk panels with incised inscriptions. The front (south-west) face bears the inscription: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ IN HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THE UNDERMENTIONED WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919," followed by the name of Nurse H Trenbath and the names of 29 men listed by first name and surname.
The south-east face has a similar inscription: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ IN MEMORY OF THE MEN/ WHO FELL IN THE WAR/ 1939 – 1945," followed by the names of 23 men. The north-west face is inscribed with the words: "THEY SHALL GROW NOT OLD/ AS WE THAT ARE LEFT GROW OLD./ AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM/ NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN/ AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN/ AND IN THE MORNING/ WE WILL REMEMBER THEM."
The memorial is constructed from rough-hewn stone with dressed panels for the inscriptions.
