Description
Hagley War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1922, later modified to honor subsequent wars. It is made of stone and is situated in a walled enclosure at a prominent roadside location near the junction of Park Road and Kidderminster Road.
The memorial features a capped Latin cross with octagonal arms and shaft, resting on a two-tiered octagonal foot, an octagonal plinth, and a six-stepped rectangular base. Relief-carved swords and crowns adorn the east and west faces of the cross, while the four vertical faces above the plinth display bronze spray wreaths of laurel and olive leaves. The memorial is constructed from fine red sandstone sourced from Annan in Dumfries and Galloway.
The main inscription reads: "THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918/ THIS CROSS WAS HUMBLY ERECTED TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR GOD, KING AND COUNTRY, LOVED ONES AT HOME AND THE FREEDOM OF THE WORLD/ (20 NAMES)/ LET THOSE WHO COME HERE AFTER SEE THAT THEIR NAMES BE NOT FORGOTTEN."
