Description
The Great Steeping War Memorial is a First World War memorial designed by A W Fynn and was unveiled on 9 November 1919. It is made of Darley stone and is located within the churchyard of the Church of All Saints. The memorial features a approximately 4.5-meter high wheel-head Calvary cross that bears a figure of Christ and is topped by a triangular roof. The cross is set upon a tapering shaft that has a carved decorated collar, which rests on a two-stage square and octagonal plinth, with a single-stepped base.
The front face of the plinth has an inscription that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD & IN/ LOVING & GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE/ MEN OF THIS VILLAGE WHO LAID/ DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT/ EUROPEAN WAR 1914 – 1919/ 'THEY DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE'/ (NAMES)." The side face of the plinth includes the inscription: "TO THE LASTING HONOUR OF THOSE WHO SERVED 1914 – 1919/ (NAMES)."
