Description
The Bawtry War Memorial commemorates those who served in the First and Second World Wars. It was created before 1929 by an unknown designer and is made of limestone.
The memorial features a tall, tapering Latin cross with a scroll at the top that has relief lettering spelling INRI, which is the Latin acronym meaning Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews. A protective gablet is positioned above the cross. The cross shaft is mounted on a deep, square plinth with chamfered corners. The east face of the plinth is engraved with the words IN GRATEFUL MEMORY / 1914 1918, along with the names and ranks of those who served. The side faces also bear inscriptions of names and ranks of individuals lost in the First World War, while the names of three men who died in the Second World War are inscribed on the rear, west face.
The plinth rests on a wide, octagonal base, which features the inscription WHOSOEVER LOSETH HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE SHALL SAVE IT. The memorial is set into a niche in the brick boundary wall of Bawtry Hall, surrounded by railings on three sides, and is accessed by a flight of six steps leading down to the road.
