Description
The Braunston in Rutland War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, located in the churchyard of All Saints's Church on Church Street in Braunston in Rutland. It is prominently positioned at the edge of the churchyard, facing the road and visible from a triangular green across the street. The memorial features a limestone Latin cross, approximately 3.8 meters tall, with lobed terminals on the arms. The cross is set on a table-collared shaft that tapers and has an octagonal shape, transitioning to a four-sided moulded foot. This is supported by a tapering four-sided plinth with moulded caps and corners, which includes recessed inscription panels. The entire structure rests on a two-tiered octagonal base.
The inscription is carved in incised lettering and reads: "LEST/ WE/ FORGET// TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF THE MEN FROM/ THIS VILLAGE WHO MADE THE/ SUPREME SACRIFICE/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918// (NAMES)// 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES)."
