Description
Bishampton War Memorial is situated at the junction of Main Street and Babylon Lane. It is constructed from red Inkberrow stone and features a Latin cross raguly with a moulded foot ring, which rises from a slender shaft. This shaft stands on an octagonal plinth and a four-stepped base.
The plinth has lettering carved in relief, with the main dedicatory inscription stating: IN GRATEFUL/ MEMORY/ TO THE MEN OF/ BISHAMPTON/ WHO GAVE THEIR/ LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918. The other faces of the plinth display lists of names of those commemorated, preceded by the words DIED or SERVED.
At the base of the memorial, adjacent to the lowest step, there are two grey granite plaques that record additional names. The first plaque states 1914 – 1918/ ALSO DIED/ (2 NAMES)/ ALSO SERVED/ (12 NAMES), while the second plaque details the history of the memorial from 1931 to 2016.
It is noted that the two granite plaques added in 2016, which are positioned at the base of the memorial, are not considered to have special architectural or historic interest.
