Description

War memorial unveiled in 1920, designed by Sharpe and Hoggard of Retford.

The memorial comprises a light grey Scottish granite obelisk with a splayed base on a darker grey granite plinth carrying the memorial inscription, that reads on the principal east face: TO/ THE GLORY OF GOD AND/ IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ THE YOUNG MEN OF THIS/ PARISH WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918/ (names)/ 1939 - 1945/ (names); and on the other three faces THOSE WHO SERVED (names). The plinth stands on a two-stepped base of the same light stone as the obelisk.
