Description
Totley War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with additions for the Second World War. It features a granite cross with a punched surface finish, set on a three-stepped base. The memorial is located within a D-plan paved courtyard, which is surrounded by low quarry-faced rubble walls topped with ridged coping stones. A continuous wall encloses the sides and rear of the courtyard, with the section behind the memorial rising to create a reredos that holds two bronze plaques.
The left plaque has an inscription in relief that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND/ IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ (NAMES decorated with lengths of Celtic knot to infill line space)/ OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN/ THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919." The right plaque is simpler, stating: "IN REMEMBRANCE/ (NAMES)/ 1939 1945." The ends of the enclosing wall are marked by ashlar posts with moulded cornices and pyramidal cap stones. Two sections of shouldered walling extend from these posts to form the front wall, which features a central opening flanked by two shorter posts of a similar design.
