Description
The North Malvern War Memorial is located in the south-eastern corner of the churchyard of Holy Trinity Church, which is also a Grade II-listed building. Constructed from Portland stone, the memorial features a Latin cross adorned with fleurs-de-lis at the intersection of the cross arms. The cross is set atop an octagonal lantern that has eight narrow Gothic niches and is positioned on a tapering octagonal shaft. The shaft rests on a single-stepped, octagonal base.
The top of the base is divided into eight triangular panels, each featuring an incised cross within a circle, painted black. Inscriptions are carved into each panel, with the main dedication stating: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN/ MEMORY OF THE FALLEN/ 1914 – 1918/ (7 NAMES)/ ALSO IN THE MEMORY OF THE FALLEN/ 1939 - 1945." The names of 46 individuals who fell during the First World War are incised in groups on the top of the base, while the names of 24 servicemen who died in the Second World War are inscribed below, separated by incised lines.
