North Malvern War Memorial

The memorial stands in the south-eastern corner of the churchyard of Holy Trinity Church (Grade II-listed). Built of Portland stone, it consists of a Latin cross decorated with fleurs-de-lis issuing from the intersection of the cross arms. The cross rises from an octagonal lantern formed of eight narrow Gothic niches, set at the top of a tapering octagonal shaft. The moulded foot of the shaft stands on a single-stepped, octagonal, base.

The top of the base is divided into eight triangular panels, each decorated with an incised cross in a circle, painted black. The inscriptions are cut into each panel. The principal dedication reads 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 remaining 46 First World War names are incised in groups on the top of the base. The names of the 24 servicemen who died fighting in the Second World War are incised in groups below the First World War names, separated by incised lines.
