Fladbury and Throckmorton War Memorial

The Fladbury and Throckmorton War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled in 1919, with a later addition for the Second World War. It is located prominently by the roadside in the center of Fladbury, to the south-west of the Church of St John the Baptist.

The memorial features a small stone Latin cross on top of a tapering square column, which is set on a tall square pedestal with a two-stepped base. It stands approximately 4.5 meters high.

The main inscription on the east face of the plinth honors the men of Fladbury, Hill, and Moor, and Throckmorton who served in the Great War from 1914 to 1919. It states that the monument was erected by their fellow parishioners and friends in 1919, detailing the casualties among 102 men on active service in various locations, including France, Flanders, Italy, the Balkan States, Gallipoli, Egypt, Palestine, and Mesopotamia. The casualties are listed as 25 killed or died of disease, 30 wounded, 5 invalided, and 8 prisoners of war, totaling 68.

The north face of the memorial lists 25 names of those who gave their lives, while the west face notes 59 names of those on active service overseas. The south face continues with 19 names for overseas service, 7 names retained on home service, 3 names served at home, and 7 names in training.

Additionally, the lower section of the pedestal on the east face is inscribed to honor those who fell in the World War 1939-1945, listing 10 names.
