Bicker War Memorial

The Bicker War Memorial is situated within a wrought-iron fenced island at the junction of Church Road, Monument Road, High Street, and School Lane, facing north-west towards the village center. This stone monument is designed in the style of a traditional Lincolnshire wayside cross and features a square, three-stepped base. Polished granite plaques are affixed to the uppermost block. On this block stands a hexagonal plinth with broach stops and shield devices carved in relief on each of the four corners. The shields, arranged clockwise from the eastern corner, bear the inscriptions PRO PATRIA, PRO REGE, and PRO DEO, while the final shield is illegible.

Above the plinth rises a hooded Calvary cross with a hexagonal tapering shaft. The hooded cross-head emerges from a moulded collar. The image of Christ on the Cross is carved on the north-western face of the memorial, while the Madonna and Child are depicted on the south-eastern side.

The inscriptions are presented in black-painted incised lettering on the granite plaques. The north-western panel reads: IN GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE OF/ THOSE OF BICKER WHO FELL IN/ THE GREAT WAR/ AUG. 1914 - NOV 1918/ (13 NAMES). The south-eastern panel states: DIED AT HOME/ FROM THE EFFECTS OF WAR/ (3 NAMES). The north-eastern panel is inscribed with 1939-45/ (4 NAMES), and the south-western panel remains blank.
