Lindridge war memorial

The Lindridge war memorial is a First World War memorial, built around 1920 and later modified to include two additional names after the Second World War.

Constructed from stone, the memorial features a Celtic cross that rises from a moulded square base, which is carved with the letters ‘I H S’. The cross has a tapering shaft with a moulded foot, set on an octagonal plinth that stands on a two-stepped octagonal platform. The plinth is inscribed on five sides with the following text: "THIS CROSS IS ERECTED IN PROUD MEMORY OF THE 18 MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918 (18 NAMES) ALSO IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR II 1939 - 1945 (2 NAMES) THEY DIED AS FEW MEN GET THE CHANCE TO DIE FIGHTING TO SAVE A WORLD'S MORALITY THEY DIED THE NOBLEST DEATH A MAN MAY DIE FIGHTING FOR GOD AND RIGHT AND LIBERTY - AND SUCH A DEATH IS IMMORTALITY. JOHN OXENHAM PEACE TO THE UNCONQUERED MAY LIGHT PERPETUAL SHINE UPON THEM."
