Description
Woodhall Spa War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1923, designed by W.H. Wood and sculpted by H. Jackson, with additions for the Second World War. It is situated at the junction of Witham Road and Stixwould Road within a small, railed enclosure at the corner of the churchyard of the former Church of St Andrew.
The memorial is made of Portland stone and features a tall Latin cross topped with a canopy. The cross shaft is octagonal in shape and ends in a square foot with inverted chamfer stops. This shaft rises from a four-sided plinth, which also has inverted chamfer stops at its corners, and sits on a single-step chamfered base above a narrow, square stone platform. All the lettering on the memorial is incised and painted black.
The inscription is located on the south-east face of the plinth and reads: "TO THE GLORY/ OF GOD/ AND IN HONOURED MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO SERVED IN THE GREAT WARS/ 1914 - 1918/ 1939 - 1945/ NOBLY THEY DIED FIGHTING/ TO MAKE MEN FREE." An incised cross pattée symbol appears before the inscription. The names of 22 local men who died in the First World War are recorded on the north-east and south-west faces of the plinth.
Additionally, the names of nine local men who died in the Second World War were added to the chamfered edge of the north-east and south-west faces of the base. The sculptor's name is incised in the bottom right corner of the south-west face of the base.
