Bullinghope War Memorial

First World War memorial with later additions for other conflicts

DESCRIPTION: Bullinghope war memorial is located within the churchyard to the south of the Church of St Peter (Grade II-listed).

It consists of rough-hewn granite and takes the form of a Greek cross on a tapering shaft. The shaft rises from a tapering four-sided plinth on a single-step base.

The south face of the plinth has a smooth inset panel which carries the main dedication and names in incised lettering, painted black. The dedication reads IN PERPETUAL MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THE PARISHES OF BULLINGHOPE/ GRAFTON AND LOWER BULLINGHAM WHO LAID/ DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918/ (7 NAMES).

Two later metal plaques have been affixed to the plinth; that to the north face carries the names of those who died in the Second World War and that to the east face has the name of the single casualty from the conflict in Afghanistan.
