Description
The Langham and Barleythorpe War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected in 1922, designed by architect Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel and crafted by mason G W Dracott of Oakham. An additional inscription was added after the Second World War. The memorial is made from Clipsham stone and is surrounded by a York stone pavement.
Located in the churchyard of St Peter and St Paul’s Church in Langham, it stands adjacent to the pathway leading to the south of the church. The memorial features a form of Glory Cross, or Rayed Cross, which rests on a foliage capital atop a tall tapered shaft, set on a square plinth with a stepped hexagonal base. The cross is intricately carved to depict rays of light emanating from it.
The front of the plinth displays an inscription in raised lettering that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF LANGHAM AND OF BARLEYTHORPE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR MCMXIV–MCMXIX" followed by the names of the fallen. There are twenty-six names inscribed on the three other sides of the plinth. The top tier of the base features an inscription commemorating the fallen of the Second World War in incised lettering: "MCMXXXIX-MCMXLV / LEST WE FORGET" along with ten names. The memorial is centrally positioned on a hexagonal York stone pavement.
