Description
The Carrington war memorial was designed and built by Messrs. Browning and Son of Spilsby, and it was unveiled in April 1920. Constructed from Portland stone, the memorial features a Latin cross that stands 15 feet tall, with a downturned sword affixed to the center of the shaft. The cross is set on a tapered stepped base and plinth.
The inscription on the memorial reads: 'TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF/ THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918/I SHALL NOT DIE BUT LIVE/ IN HONOUR OF THOSE WHO/ SERVED/ IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE/ 37 OTHERS WHOSE HOMES WERE ELSEWHERE JOINED THE FORCES FROM THIS PARISH.'
It lists the names of 17 individuals from the parish who served and returned, as well as 7 who died during World War I. Additionally, it includes the names of 22 who served and returned and 1 who died during World War II.
