Description
The Hackenthorpe War Memorial is a stone structure commemorating the First World War and Second World War, built before 1933 by an unknown designer.
The memorial is located next to Christ Church and features a white-painted stone Latin cross with a moulded foot, which stands on a high square base. The cross is set on a square, chamfered plinth that is painted black. The front, north-west face of the cross is recessed and adorned with a moulded frame and relief-carved Gothic tracery. At the center of the cross head is a mandala with the relief letters IHS intertwined and highlighted in black. The foot of the shaft is supported on each side by console brackets and rests on an elaborately moulded foot.
The square base has chamfered corners with chamfer stops. The front, north face of the base features an incised inscription painted black that reads "1914 THE GREAT WAR 1919," along with the first names, initials, and surnames of seven men who died, listed below. Beneath this is the inscription "THEY DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE." On the left-hand, east side of the base, there is a black-painted inscription that states "1939 WORLD WAR 1945," followed by the first names, initials, and surnames of seven men and the year they died below.
