Description

War memorial, unveiled in 1920, by C E Kempe and Co of London.

The memorial comprises a wooden Calvary, with a bronze figure of Christ, set on an octagonal stone plinth with bronze plaques. That in turn stands on a wider octagonal stone base with carved quatrefoil decoration to each panel. The bronze panels (introduced in 1995 in place of earlier carved inscriptions) carry the words: REMEMBER YE WITH THANKSGIVING AND HONOUR THESE MEN OF SHIREOAKS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR OF 1914-1918 AND WORLD WAR II OF 1939-1945, UPON THOSE SOULS MAY GOD HAVE MERCY/ 1914-1918 (24 names) and 1939-1945 (12 names).

The memorial has a flagged surround.
