Description
The War Memorial at Christ Church Baptist Church is a First World War memorial, dating from around 1919. It is made of polished pink granite with cream granite inlay, set on a stone base.
The memorial features a short column with a moulded foot. The cap is also moulded and includes inlaid decoration of wreathed leaves. Atop the column is a sculpted flared Egyptian jar with a knopped lid, which has contrasting inlaid geometric decoration. The front of the column is inscribed with the words: THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1919 / IN GRATITUDE / TO / THOSE CONNECTED / WITH THIS CHURCH / WHO MADE THE / SUPREME SACRIFICE. The other three sides are carved with the names of the Fallen, arranged within a four-panelled carved, round-arched arcade that encircles the column, featuring foliate carved motifs in the spandrels. The foot of the memorial bears the inscription: GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS. The memorial is supported by a stone base with scrolled broach stops at the corners.
