Description
The Skellingthorpe War Memorial is made of Cornish granite and is situated in the churchyard of St Lawrence’s Church. It features a wheel-head cross that is placed on top of a tapering square shaft. This shaft rises from a trapezoidal plinth, which is set on a two-stepped square base.
The front face of the plinth includes a dedication for the First World War, which reads: "IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF SKELLINGTHORPE WHO DIED FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919 (NAMES)."
Additionally, the base of the shaft is inscribed with "IN MEMORY OF (NAMES) WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR OF 1939 – 1945."
