War Memorial at Twyford Road, Barrow-upon-Trent

The War Memorial is located on the south side of Twyford Road in Barrow-upon-Trent, standing on a raised paved area that is enclosed on three sides by a low stone wall. It is constructed from fine-grained sandstone and features a Celtic cross with interlace decoration at the top of a tapered shaft. The cross and shaft are set on a triple-stepped base, where the upper step has carved decoration and the lower two steps bear inscriptions.

The carved decoration on the upper step references St Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians, depicting emblems of armor and weaponry associated with the Knights Hospitallers. The north face of the step shows 'The Breastplate of Righteousness', the west face shows 'The Shield of Faith', the south face shows 'The Helmet of Salvation', and the east face shows 'The Sword of The Spirit'. The middle step lists the names of the men from Barrow-upon-Trent who volunteered for service, while the lower step carries the inscription:

'IN HONOUR OF THE MEN OF BARROW-ON-TRENT WHO VOLUNTARILY SERVED THEIR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR OF NATIONS 1914-1919. THIS CROSS IS ERECTED BY FREDERIC CHARLES ARKWRIGHT OF WILLERSLEY IN THIS COUNTY A.D. MDCCCCXVI'.

The stepped base is elevated from a low stepped four-part plinth, with the second step inscribed with the words: 'FOR GOD/ FOR KING/ FOR COUNTRY'. Additionally, on the inner face of the west section of the enclosure wall, there is a plaque commemorating the re-dedication of the War Memorial in 2014 by the Duke of Devonshire.
