War memorial at St Giles' Church, Normanton, Derby.

The memorial stands in the churchyard to the north of St Giles' Church, Normanton in Derby. It is made of ashlar sandstone, and takes the form of a modified Celtic cross, the linking radial sections of the cross being angular rather than curved. The tapered rectangular shaft has a low socket with miniature gables, angle buttresses, and a carved shield to its north face, surmounted by a cross. The shaft rises from a deep chamfered base stone, the north face of which bears the inscription 'TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS/ PARISH WHO FELL IN/ THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919.' The base stone stands on a stepped plinth, the deep upper step of which is made up of large ashlar blocks bearing the names of the seventy-eight fallen, listed in alphabetical order on each of the four faces.
