Description
The Binbrook War Memorial is situated to the south of the Church of St Mary and St Gabriel, which is also listed at Grade II, and it is near the scheduled and Grade II*-listed Churchyard Cross. Made of Cornish granite, the memorial features a rough-hewn Celtic cross adorned with a reversed sword, standing at a height of 2.7 meters. The cross is mounted on a tapering square plinth, which itself rests on a three-stepped square base.
The plinth has black metal lettering inscribed on three sides. The south side bears the inscription: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND TO THE IMMORTAL MEMORY/ OF THE GLORIOUS DEAD/ CONNECTED WITH BINBROOK, WHO/ GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR/ KING AND COUNTRY IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914-1919/ AND WHOSE NAMES ARE INSCRIBED HEREON/ 'LEST WE FORGET'." Below this, on the top step of the base, is an additional inscription: "AND IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE WAR OF 1939-1945." Names of the fallen are inscribed on the eastern and western sides of the plinth as well as on the sides of the upper step of the base.
