Thorney War Memorial

Thorney War Memorial is a First World War memorial that features gates erected around 1920. The memorial consists of a pedestrian gate located at the entrance to the footpath leading to the west door of the Church of St Helen, which is listed as Grade II*.

The memorial includes a pair of iron gates with spearhead railings and decorative scrollwork. These gates are subdivided by a horizontal band of elongated ovals, below which are twisted dog-rails. The gates have a concave top rail and a shallow panel adorned with pierced quatrefoil motifs. They also feature a dedicatory inscription that reads 'IN MEMORIAM' on the left-hand gate and '1914 - 1918' on the right-hand gate. The gates are flanked by piers made of coursed random rubble, topped with shallow pyramidal caps. Each pier contains a sandstone plaque inscribed with the names of eight fallen soldiers, four on each plaque.
