Description
The North Leverton War Memorial is a war memorial unveiled in 1921, designed by Sharpe and Hoggard of Retford. It is made of grey polished granite and features a short obelisk set on a main plinth, which is placed on a squatter lower plinth atop a single-step base.
The south face of the memorial has a lightly incised inscription that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF (names and dates) WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT HE LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS." The west face also commemorates those who served in the Great War of 1939-1945, listing additional names and dates. Additionally, the west face of the lower plinth is carved with the names Sharpe & Hoggard.
