Nether Langwith War Memorial

War memorial, unveiled in 1920. Restored and re-dedicated in 2012-3. The memorial, of Roche Abbey stone, comprises a rough-hewn Celtic cross set on a boulder-like plinth, its front face smooth and carrying the names of the men commemorated. An inverted sword of remembrance is carved on the upper part of the cross shaft, while the lower part of the shaft carries the inscription TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN HONOURED MEMORY OF (on the north side) and 1914-1918 (on the south side). The plinth stands on a base of large, rough-hewn slabs. The plinth carries inscriptions on the north and south sides - the inscription on the north side gives the 12 names of the men lost, together with 1914-1918, while the inscription on the south side reads ALSO IN HONOURED MEMORY OF (4 names) / 1939-1945.”
