Description
The Alfrick War Memorial is a village memorial built around 1920. It is made of limestone ashlar and features an octagonal platform with a square upper body.
The main front faces north-east. The cross has a square section with raised corners and a long shaft, adorned with carved foliage at the ends of the arms and a figure of Christ crucified. The plinth is also square in section, with moulding at the angles on the top. Inscribed around the tops of all four sides, starting from the north-east side, are the words: ‘TO THE GLORY / OF GOD : WE HAVE COME / THROUGH THE : VALLEY OF SHADOWS / AND WE HAVE : WON TO THE / LIGHT AGAIN’. The names of the fallen are inscribed on all four sides. Additionally, on the bottom of the north-east side, it states ‘WE REMEMBER THE COST / OF OUR RANSOM’, with an angled plaque below that records the fallen from the Second World War. The memorial stands on a stepped, octagonal platform that rises from the surrounding lawn.
