Description
Shirley War Memorial is located in the south-east corner of the churchyard of the Church of St James, facing directly onto Stratford Road. The memorial features a three-stepped base, with the upper section displaying the inscription: "THIS MEMORIAL IS ERECTED / TO THE GLORY OF GOD, AND IN / PROUD AND GRATEFUL MEMORY / OF THE SHIRLEY MEN WHO FELL / IN THE GREAT WAR. 1914 - 19 / AND WORLD WAR II. 1939 – 1945." Above this is a plinth with a tapering shaft topped by a wheeled cross. The front of the plinth includes a bronze wreath and the inscription: "TO THE / GLORIOUS / DEAD." The other sides of the plinth list the names of the deceased. Flanking the main memorial are two low stone slabs, one on each side, each inscribed with "1939 – 1945/ (NAMES)."
