Description

This is a First World War memorial, built in 1921, with additional names added after the Second World War. The memorial is constructed from Clipsham stone. It takes the form of an ornate wheel cross, set upon a tapering octagonal shaft with a deep collar. This sits above a square, moulded pedestal with two stages and inscriptions, and is raised on a four-stepped, square platform. The plinth displays inscriptions in incised lettering, which read: "TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF THE BRAVE MEN/ OF SEAGRAVE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE// (NAMES)// IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN/ OF SEAGRAVE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES/ IN THE WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945// (NAMES)/ LET NOT THEIR SACRIFICE BE IN VAIN."
