Description
The Bagworth War Memorial is a First World War memorial dating from around 1920, which was altered following the Second World War. It is made of stone and features bronze plaques.
The memorial is located in the churchyard of the now-demolished Holy Rood Church, near the entrance from Old School Lane, and stands on the platform of a former terrace to the church. It consists of a plain Latin cross made of stone, with chamfered edges throughout, and a relief-carved shield of St George at the center of the tapering shaft. The shaft is set on a low eight-sided plinth that has a square base with deeply chamfered corners.
The dedication is inscribed on the shaft, while the names and Second World War inscriptions are displayed on cast bronze plaques around the plinth. The inscription includes both incised text on the shaft and the bronze plaques, reading: 1914/ TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN/ PROUD/ AND GRATEFUL/ MEMORY/ OF THE/ NOBLE DEAD/ 1918/ (NAMES)/ 1939-1945/ (NAMES).
