Description
The Martin War Memorial is located in the churchyard of the Church of the Holy Trinity and is made of Ancaster limestone. It features a medieval cross atop an octagonal shaft that has a carved decorative collar and base. The shaft rises from an octagonal plinth, which is set on a three-stepped square base.
The plinth is inscribed on three sides with lead lettering and has a low relief shield carved at each corner. Each of the four shields displays individual low relief texts: PRO PATRIA, PRO REGE, PRO DEO, and PRO RECTO.
The inscription for the First World War reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF MARTIN WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE." A later dedication for the Second World War states: "WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945 (NAMES)."
