Description

The Moulton Seas End War Memorial is a First World War memorial, built in 1920, with additions for the Second World War. It is situated on the east side of Seas End Road (B1357), facing the road.

Constructed of grey granite, the memorial features a tall, four-sided pillar that has a moulded and dentilated cornice and a moulded foot. At the top of the pillar is a small, four-sided block of granite with a pyramidal top, which sits on a three-stepped, square base.

The upper part of the pillar shaft includes a decorative band with a pair of crossed flags and the dates 1914 and 1919 incised on the western face. The other three faces are adorned with relief-carved, paired rosettes between fluted pilasters. Below this band on the western face is the main inscription, which reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR/ COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR/ (22 NAMES)/ MAY THEY REST IN THY PEACE, AND/ AWAKE TO A JOYFUL RESURRECTION."

On the upper step of the base, the dates 1939 – 1945 are inscribed, along with the three names of those who died in the Second World War recorded on the step below. All lettering is incised and painted black.

The memorial is surrounded by black-painted metal railings, which feature gold-painted finials. There is a gate in the center of the western boundary, flanked by decorative gate posts.
