Description
West Willoughby War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes later additions for the Second World War. It is situated on Willoughby Road, surrounded by hedging.
The memorial features a slim timber calvary cross with a bronze figure of Christ on its front face. Below the figure is an oak shield with gilt lettering. The inscription reads: "REMEMBER WITH THANKSGIVING THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN TWO WORLD WARS 1914 – 1918 (NAMES) 1939 – 1945 (NAMES) THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE."
The cross stands on a small brick base that has three steps.
