Description
The Bockleton War Memorial is a First World War memorial, dating from around 1920. It is constructed from stone and is set back from the road within a small enclosure surrounded by iron railings, accessible via a small flight of steps. The memorial features a Celtic-style wheel head cross made of rough-hewn stone, with a carved sword down the center, and it stands on a two-stepped plinth.
The plinths are inscribed with the following text: "IN EVER THANKFUL MEMORY OF MERCIES VOUCHSAFED BY ALMIGHTY GOD WHEREBY OF THE FORTY FOUR MEN FROM THE PARISHES OF BOCKLETON AND HAMPTON CHARLES WHO SERVED IN THE IMPERIAL FORCES IN 1914-1918 THIRTY NINE REMAINED ALIVE THIS CROSS WAS ERECTED BY THE INHABITANTS OF THE TWO PARISHES BY WHOM ALSO A TABLET BEARING THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO FELL WAS PLACED IN THE CHURCH."
