Description
The Sambrook War Memorial is a village memorial built around 1920, located in the churchyard of St Luke's Church, to the north-east of the church. It is made of stone and has an octagonal shape. The memorial features a Latin cross on top of a tall, tapering shaft that connects to a square plinth.
The main dedicatory inscription on the north-east face of the plinth reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND TO/ PERPETUATE IN GRATEFUL AND/ HONOURED MEMORY THE NAMES/ OF PARISHIONERS OF SAMBROOK/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919." The names of four individuals who fell during the First World War are inscribed on the north-west face of the plinth.
Additionally, there is an inscription commemorating those who died in the Second World War, which reads: "ALSO IN MEMORY OF/ (NAMES)/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE/ GREATER WAR 1939 - 1945." The memorial stands on an octagonal, three-stepped base.
