Description
First World War memorial, 1920, with later addition for the Second World War.
DESCRIPTION: Stockton-on-the-Forest War Memorial is located at the entrance to Holy Trinity churchyard, adjacent to the main path leading to the church.
It is of Portland Stone and takes the form of a wheel-head cross with chamfered edges on a tapering, four-sided shaft. This rises from a tapering, four-sided plinth, which surmounts a three-stepped octagonal base.
To the north-west face of the plinth is an inset panel, carved into a pointed arch with cusp detail, which contains the principal inscription in raised lettering IN SACRED/ AND UNDYING/ MEMORY OF THOSE/ WHO FELL FOR THEIR/ COUNTRY – 1914 – 1919/ (12 NAMES).
A later dedication for the Second World War was added to an inset panel on the south-west face of the plinth, also in raised lettering, and reads 1939 1945 (1 NAME).
