Sutterton War Memorial

Sutterton War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with additions for the Second World War. It is situated in Sutterton Cemetery at the western end of the main path that leads from Station Road.

The memorial consists of a tall, white granite pillar topped with a two-tiered pyramidal cap above a square capital featuring a deeply moulded cornice. The pillar rests on a moulded square block foot, which is set upon a chamfered square base. The inscriptions and names are presented in incised lettering, painted gold, on arched panels made of red Aberdeen granite that are attached to the pillar.

The main inscription is located on the east face of the pillar and reads: "ERECTED BY THE/ SUTTERTON PARISHIONERS./ 'TO THE GLORY OF GOD'/ AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF/ OUR BOYS,/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR/ KING AND COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918./ GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN/ THAN THIS THAT A MAN LAY/ DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS/ FRIENDS." The names of the 34 men who died in the First World War are listed on the north and south faces of the pillar.

On the west face of the pillar, there is a dedication for the Second World War that reads: "SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF/ PARISHIONERS/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE/ SECOND WORLD WAR/ 1939-1945/ (12 NAMES)."

Additionally, blank red granite panels are affixed to the faces of the foot of the pillar.
