Description

Beeston Hill War Memorial is a First World War memorial that commemorates the parishioners of the Church of the Holy Spirit who fought in the war, likely built in the 1920s. It is made of limestone and is located within the churchyard of the Church of the Holy Spirit, positioned beneath the south-west (ritual east) window.

The memorial features a tall fleuree cross with an octagonal shaft that rises from a tapered pedestal, which has a two-stepped tapered base below. The entire structure is set upon a square two-stepped plinth, also made of limestone. Each face of the pedestal has a raised shaped panel with scrolled decoration. The front (south-west) face includes an inscription that reads: 'TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND/ IN MEMORY OF/ ALL THOSE FROM THIS PARISH/ WHO SERVED IN THE WAR/ 1914 – 1918./ “NOT ONE OF THEM IS/ FORGOTTEN BEFORE GOD."
