Description
The Haxey and Westwoodside War Memorial is a polished Aberdeen granite structure located in the center of the village of Haxey, at the junction of Epworth Road, East Lound Road, and Low Street. It features a soldier from the Lincolnshire Regiment, depicted with his head bowed and rifle reversed, standing on a rectangular pedestal with a moulded cornice. Behind the soldier is a carved tree stump. The top of the pedestal is adorned with carved garlands, and the front face displays the dates 1914 – 1918 in raised lettering.
Beneath this, there is a raised plaque with a dedication in black block lettering that reads: IN HONOUR/ OF THE MEN/ OF THE PARISH OF/ HAXEY/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR KING AND COUNTRY/ IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ ERECTED BY/ HENRY GILDING JP/ LATE OF THIS PARISH. An identical inscription is found on the rear face. One side of the pedestal lists the names of 22 individuals from Westwoodside, while the opposite side lists 21 names from Haxey.
The pedestal is supported by a two-staged plinth, with the lower stage bearing the dedication: 1939 – 1945/ (5 NAMES). The memorial is set on a three-stepped base.
The memorial is surrounded by modern metal railings with stone corner piers, and a small gate provides access to the memorial from the east side.
