Description
Souldrop War Memorial is situated on the east side of the churchyard of All Saints Church. It features a Latin cross with a carved collar atop a tapering octagonal shaft. The shaft rises from a chamfered plinth that has an octagonal top and a square base. This entire structure is placed on a single square stepped base.
The plinth displays a dedication to the fallen of the First World War in raised lettering, which reads: IN MEMORY OF BRAVE MEN/ WHO FROM THIS VILLAGE FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 18. Two other faces of the memorial are incised with the names of the fallen. The final side bears the inscription 1939 – 45 in raised lettering, with one name listed beneath it.
