Description
The Arnesby War Memorial is an interwar structure created by G Collin & Son of Leicester. It is made of granite and features an ornate wheel head cross and shaft, set on a three-tiered, four-sided plinth. The cross head, wheel, and shaft are intricately carved with interlacing patterns, while the plinth displays leaded inscriptions. The inscriptions are plain for the dedication and names, and gothic for the epitaph around the base.
The leaded lettering reads: "IN/ LOVING MEMORY/ OF/ (NAMES)/ WHO DIED IN THE WAR 1914 – 1918/ AND OF (NAME)/ REPORTED AS DEAD/ GOD IS LOVE// WORLD WAR 1939 – 45/ DEDICATED/ TO THE MEMORY OF/ (NAME)/ DIED A PRISONER OF WAR/ IN JAPANESE HANDS/ SEPTEMBER 1943/ INASMUCH/ 1914 – 1918 (ADDITIONAL NAME)."
At the rear of the plinth, there is a metal badge that states "G COLLIN & SON/ SCULPTORS/ REGENTS/ LEICESTER."
