Ketton War Memorial

The Ketton War Memorial is a medieval-style structure located next to the south-east corner of the porch of the Church of St Mary, which is a Grade I-listed building. It overlooks Church Road and is situated opposite The Priory, a Grade II*-listed property. The memorial stands approximately 4.5 meters tall and is constructed from Clipsham stone. It features a carved sculpture of the crucifixion, flanked by figures of St Mary and St John, all covered by a plain gable with a small cross at the top. Below the crucifixion, a small shield carved in relief on a bracket displays symbols of the Passion. The octagonal cross shaft is mounted on a square plinth, which is set on a square, two-stepped base.

On the west face of the plinth, an inscription reads: "1914–1919/ PRAY FOR THE MEN OF/ KETTON WHO GAVE THEIR/ LIVES IN THE GREAT WARS/ 1939 – 1945/ (10 NAMES)." The names of 36 men who fell in the First World War are inscribed on the three other faces of the plinth, with all inscriptions being incised.
