Description
The Eardisland War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in the 1920s, with later additions. It is constructed of stone and features a plain Latin cross on a gently tapering octagonal shaft, which sits atop a square plinth with a chamfered top edge. This structure stands on a four-stepped octagonal base. On the second step down, there is a stone vase with an incised Latin cross.
The main inscription, in incised lettering on the north-west face of the plinth, reads: (gold-painted lettering) TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ (black-painted lettering) AND IN LASTING/ MEMORY OF THE MEN OF/ EARDISLAND WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR FOR HUMANITY/ AGAINST GERMANY AND HER ALLIES/ (gold-painted lettering) 1914 – 1918/. The names of the fallen are listed in incised lettering on the north-east and south-west faces of the plinth.
The chamfered top edge of the north-west face of the plinth features an additional inscription: 1939 – 1945/ (NAME)/, and one more name has been added to the chamfers on the north-east and south-west faces. A small metal plaque with raised lettering has been affixed to the base of the cross shaft, stating: THE MEMORIAL WAS REDEDICATED/ ON 7 MAY 1995/ COMMEMORATING FIFTY YEARS OF PEACE/ IN WESTERN EUROPE/.
