Houghton Conquest War Memorial

The war memorial takes the form of a broken circular column, raised on a simple base and rectangular plinth, all executed in granite. The plinth rises from a single-step base, set within a small kerbed square with a gravel covering. At the base of the column is a small niche intended to house a bronze statue of St George. The original has been lost, but a replacement created by the sculptor Philip Jackson CVO DL MA FRBS was installed in 2000. The names of the fallen, and the regiments to which they belonged are inscribed in black lettering around the sides of the plinth. The name of a casualty of the Korean War is inscribed on the plinth step.

The eastern face of the plinth carries an inscription, also in black lettering, which reads 'TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOREVER'. Sixteen names are recorded of those who fell in the First World War, nine from the second and one from the Korean War.
