Description
The War Memorial in St Cuthbert's Churchyard is a First World War memorial built in 1921. It is made of Clipsham stone and features an oak cross.
Located to the south of the Grade I-listed Church of St Cuthbert, the memorial stands next to the entrance porch. It consists of a tall oak Latin cross that rises from a four-sided, tapering Clipsham stone plinth, which sits on a single-stepped, square stone base.
Both faces of the cross display the inscription "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES" (In this sign you will conquer) across the horizontal arm, with the Chi Rho symbol carved above the inscription on the vertical arm. The plinth is adorned with incised lettering inscriptions.
The south-west face of the plinth reads "IN THANKFULNESS/ TO ALMIGHTY GOD." The south-east face states "865 PARISHIONERS/ SERVED IN THE WAR/ 1914-1918." The north-east face honors the fallen with "TO THE LOVE OF GOD/ THE FALLEN/ ARE COMMENDED." The north-west face acknowledges the contributions of families with "THE WOMEN/ AND CHILDREN/ DID THEIR PART."
Additionally, there is an inscription that runs anti-clockwise around the top part of the plinth, starting from the south-west face, which reads "CONSTANTINE THE GREAT/ PROCLAIMED EMPEROR/ IN THIS PARISH/ AD 306."
