Description
Chapel Hill War Memorial is situated in the churchyard of the former Holy Trinity Church, which is now a private residence. The memorial faces the North Forty Foot Bank Road to the east and is designed in the form of a stone Latin Cross.
The memorial is set on a square concrete base with a three-stage plinth. The cross shaft is tapering and has four sides with chamfered corners.
Inscribed around the top stage of the plinth in incised lettering is a prayer: on the east face, it reads ‘LORD ALL PITYING’; on the north face, ‘JESU BLEST’; on the west face, ’GRANT THEM THINE’; and on the south face, ’ETERNAL REST/ AMEN’.
Additional inscriptions on the middle stage of the plinth include on the east face: 1914-1918/ IN LOYAL AND THANKFUL/ MEMORY OF THE MEN FROM THIS/ PARISH WHOSE LIVES WERE GIVEN/ FOR THEIR KING AND COUNTRY. The opposite face bears a later dedication: ALSO IN MEMORY OF THOSE/ WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN/ THE SECOND WORLD WAR/ 1939-1945. The names of the fallen are recorded on the faces of the plinth.
