Description
The Wold Newton War Memorial is a war memorial erected in 1921, carved by John Thompson and Sons of Peterborough. It is made of Clipsham limestone and is located opposite the gateway to The Manor. The memorial stands 8 feet 6 inches tall and is raised on an elliptical-plan base made of tamped chalk chippings, which is covered with soil and fronted by a low curved concrete block wall with cast-iron cruciform railings.
The structure features a square pedestal with carved upper corners, and the upper surface has chamfered edges that form an octagonal plinth. From this plinth rises a tapered shaft with a square base, the edges of which are chamfered and stopped to create eight facets. The shaft is adorned with a ring and a faceted cushion capital that supports a Latin cross. The cross includes a shield inscribed with the Christian monogram HIS at the intersection, and its edges have hollow chamfers with four Tudor florets draped into the chamfers.
The names of the Fallen are inscribed in fine lead lettering on the northwest face of the pedestal. The inscription reads:
PRO DEO / PRO PATRIA / 1914 – 1918 / GEORGE COCKRILL / ARTHUR DIXON / CYRIL COMPTON JACKSON / HAROLD KING / 1900 / CHARLES SMITH SOUTH AFRICA.
