Alrewas War Memorial

The Alrewas War Memorial is located on the Village Green in the center of the village, near several listed buildings. The triangular lawn is surrounded by railings, with benches positioned to face outward from two sides of the Green. Originally, the memorial was enclosed by a timber fence. The memorial itself is made of grey granite and features a plain Latin cross that rises from the shallow cornice of a square, tapering plinth. This plinth is set on a square, three-stepped base, with the bottom step constructed of concrete.

The main dedication, which is incised on the front face of the plinth, reads: "TO THE ETERNAL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF ALREWAS WHOSE NAMES ARE INSCRIBED HEREON, WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THE EMPIRE IN THE GREAT WAR, AND ALL OF THOSE OTHERS FROM THIS PARISH WHO FOUGHT UNDER THE FLAG DURING THE SAME PERIOD 1914 – 1919 IN LIKE MANNER WE HONOUR THE MEN OF ALREWAS WHOSE NAMES ARE INSCRIBED BELOW." This dedication continues on the front face of the upper step of the base, stating: "WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945."

The names of those who died in the First World War are carved into the other three faces of the plinth, while the names of those who fell in the Second World War are inscribed on the front face of the middle step of the base. All inscriptions are incised and painted black.
