Description

Skegness War Memorial is situated on the south side of the Church of St Matthew, on a small raised circular area. The memorial features a stone Latin cross with a Sword of Sacrifice on the front face. This cross is mounted on a tapering shaft with a moulded base, which sits atop an octagonal plinth. The plinth is elevated by a three-stepped octagonal base.

The faces of the plinth display the names of the fallen in lead lettering and include carved shield details on alternating faces. The front face bears the inscription "1914 1919/ TO HONOUR/ BEFORE GOD AND MAN,/ ALL WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES/ IN/ THE GREAT WAR,/ SPECIALLY THE MEN OF/ SKEGNESS,/ WHOSE NAMES ARE/ INSCRIBED/ ON THIS MEMORIAL/ AND/ 1939 1945." Below this inscription, on the top step, is an additional dedication that reads "AND THESE CIVILIANS." The names of the civilians are recorded below this dedication and on two additional sides of the step.
