Sibsey War Memorial

The war memorial is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Margaret (Grade I), to the west of the church and facing the Old Main Road. It is close to the remains of the churchyard cross (scheduled and Grade II-listed). The memorial is enclosed by chains suspended from posts on a low brick and concrete wall.

The memorial, of a light coloured stone, takes the form of a Latin cross with a bronze crucifixion fixed to its western face, rising from a square shaft that stands on a two-stage, square, plinth, on a two-stepped base. Grey slate plaques are fixed to the western faces of the plinth and steps.

The plaques are inscribed with silvered lettering. The principal dedicatory inscription on the west face of the plinth bears the inscription THIS/ MEMORIAL WAS ERECTED/ BY/ PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION/ TO COMMEMORATE/ THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919/ AND THE SECOND GREAT WAR/ 1939-1945/ ALL HONOUR TO THOSE/ WHO SERVED. Below this, on a sloping stone set on the top step of the base (added in 2015), are inscribed the 13 names of those who died in the First World War, with the dates 1914-1919. The lower stone has the names of those eight who died in the Second World War, with the dates 1939-1945.
