East Bridgford War Memorial Cross

East Bridgford War Memorial is located in the eastern corner of the churchyard in close proximity to the Grade I-listed Church of St Peter and a group of Grade II-listed headstones.

The war memorial is constructed of Derby gritstone and takes the form of a pointed Latin cross with cusped projections at the angles between the cross-arms. The cross crowns an octagonal shaft with decorative moulded collar and a square foot with inverted chamfer stops. The shaft rises from a square plinth with octagonal cap and curved moulded shoulders. This surmounts a three-stepped base, square on plan..

The east face of the plinth has a cross patée symbol carved in relief above an inset bronze plaque carrying the names of the 22 servicemen who died in the First World War. The names are in raised lettering and are listed under the year each man died. Directly below, to the east face of the base, is the principal inscription in incised lettering, TO THE MEMORY OF THE FALLEN IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918. The step below has the following words incised, THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE.

The west face of the plinth has a further bronze plaque, bearing the Second World War dedication and names. This reads, THIS TABLET WAS ADDED TO THE/ MEMORY OF THE FALLEN IN THE/ SECOND GREAT WAR 1939-45 (5 NAMES). The names are again listed by the year each man died.
