Skegby War Memorial

Skegby war memorial, erected in 1922, is situated adjacent to the south door of the Church of St Andrew, set in the centre of the churchyard. The sandstone monument is square in plan, and takes the form of a hexagonal, carved cross with wheel on a square tapered plinth, set upon a two-stepped base and a raised platform. The memorial's plinth carries a set of inscribed slate commemorative tablets. The inscription on the frontal tablet reads: THIS / MONUMENT / AND THE / SCHOOL CLOCK / WERE ERECTED TO THE / GLORY OF GOD / AND IN MEMORY OF THOSE / WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE / 1914-18. The other tablets continue around the plinth and are inscribed with the names of the 43 local men who fell in the First World War.
