Description
The Harborne War Memorial is situated in the churchyard of the parish church of St Peter, which is also listed as Grade II. It is located to the south of the church, next to a footpath, on a hexagonal paved area. The memorial is made of limestone and features a Latin cross that rises from an octagonal plinth set on a two-stepped base. The cross shaft has four faces with bevelled edges and includes a smaller Greek cross inset into the upper section. At the center of the cross arms is a raised lens with the letters IHS carved in relief, a design that appears on both sides of the memorial. The foot of the cross shaft is moulded and displays three small shields carved in relief, depicting a chalice, a wreath, and two crossed staves. Inscribed around the top of the plinth are the words "IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE MEN OF HARBORNE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES," with 204 names recorded on the faces of the plinth below.
