Description
The West Keal War Memorial is situated in the churchyard, south of the Church of St Helen, which is a Grade II* listed building. It offers panoramic views over the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds and the surrounding fens. The memorial stands 4.3 meters high and is made of Clipsham Stone in the form of a Calvary cross.
It features a two-stepped square base and a square, chamfered plinth from which a slender octagonal cross shaft rises. The cross-head, which emerges from a corbel-like collar, displays a carved figure of the crucified Christ on the western side, while the reverse shows the Madonna and Child. The collar is decorated on the western and eastern sides with shields that bear monograms.
Names are inscribed on three sides of the plinth, with the principal dedicatory inscription on the western face reading: "TO THE MEN OF WEST KEAL WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919."
