Measham War Memorial Cross

The Measham War Memorial Cross is a First World War memorial dating to around 1920, with additions made after the Second World War and the Iraq War from 2003 to 2011.

Constructed from Portland stone, it features Welsh slate plaques and a bronze wreath. The cross has arms of equal length with flared feet, known as a cross patée, and is topped with a shield surrounded by a circular wreath. It stands on a tapering octagonal column that rests on an octagonal plinth. At the base of the column shaft is a bronze wreath. The plinth is divided by a horizontal moulding into a taller upper section and a shorter lower section. The plaques commemorating the First World War are located on the upper section, while those for the Second World War and the Iraq War are on the lower section. The plinth is set on a base of three octagonal steps, and the entire structure is surrounded by a circular brick apron.

The plaques include the following inscriptions:

For the First World War, the center plaque reads: "THEY / LIE DEAD IN / MANY LANDS, / SO THAT YOU / MAY LIVE / HERE / IN PEACE," followed by names on plaques 2-8.

For the Second World War, the center plaque states "1939-45" with three names, and flanking plaques list eight additional names.

For the Iraq War, the inscription reads "IRAQ 2006" with one name and "ROYAL ANGLIAN REGT."
