North Collingham War Memorial

The memorial stands in the churchyard extension of All Saints’ Church (Grade I-listed). Approximately 8m tall, it takes the form of an elaborate stone crucifix rising from an octagonal shaft. The shaft is raised on a small octagonal plinth, which stands on a two-stepped base. Carved on the front face of the plinth, in a panel of blind tracery, is the inscription 1914/ TO/ THE GLORIOUS/ MEMORY OF THE/ FALLEN OF THIS/ PARISH/ 1919.

The remaining sides of the plinth are also decorated with panels of blind tracery. Mounted on alternate faces are bronze plaques bearing the ranks, names and regiments of the men who died in the First World War, and also Nurse Elizabeth Hunt. A bronze plaque bearing the names of those who died in the Second World War is mounted on one face with the dedication ALSO IN MEMORY OF/ (NAMES)/ 1939-45.

The memorial stands in a small paved area, enclosed by a low chain suspended from small wooden posts.
