Description
The Farnsfield War Memorial is located in the graveyard of St Michael and All Angels Church and was unveiled in 1922. It is made of Whitby stone and has a square plan.
The memorial features a square ashlar masonry plinth with a two-stepped base, where the lower step has a moulded cornice. Above this base is a tall, slender, tapering shaft, which supports a Latin cross adorned with a fleur de lys and a small bronze sword of sacrifice set into the center. A commemorative plaque on the upper step of the base reads: "IN PROUD AND LOVING MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR/ GOD KING AND COUNTRY/ IN THE WORLD WARS OF/ 1914 - 1918 AND 1939 – 1945/. - JESU MERCY -/ MAY THEY REST IN PEACE." Additionally, there is a larger plaque on the lower part of the base that lists the Roll of Honour.
