Birchcliffe War Memorial

Birchcliffe War Memorial is a stone cenotaph located to the right of the main approach to the former Birchcliffe Baptist Church. It features a central full-height panel that is set forward and inscribed, adorned with a bronze wreath at the top above an egg and dart band. The cenotaph is flanked by stepped, curved curtain walls that have inset bronze plaques with stone surrounds, inscribed with the names of those who fell. Inverted bronze torches are positioned on either side of the plaques, symbolizing the extinguishing of the lives of the Fallen. The memorial stands on a single stepped base at a raised site, accessible by a set of four steps.

The front face of the cenotaph bears an incised inscription that reads: "TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN FROM THIS CHURCH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR US IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919 THEY LAID THEIR RICHEST GIFT - THEIR LIVES - ON THE ALTAR OF SACRIFICE LET THEIR NAMES BE REMEMBERED."
