Description
The Stockton-on-the-Forest War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with a later addition for the Second World War. It is situated at the entrance to the Holy Trinity churchyard, next to the main path leading to the church.
The memorial is made of Portland Stone and features a wheel-head cross with chamfered edges on a tapering, four-sided shaft. This shaft rises from a tapering, four-sided plinth, which is set on a three-stepped octagonal base.
On the north-west face of the plinth, there is an inset panel carved into a pointed arch with cusp detail. This panel contains the main inscription in raised lettering: "IN SACRED/ AND UNDYING/ MEMORY OF THOSE/ WHO FELL FOR THEIR/ COUNTRY – 1914 – 1919" followed by 12 names.
A later dedication for the Second World War is found on an inset panel on the south-west face of the plinth, also in raised lettering, which reads "1939 1945" followed by 1 name.
