Description
The Glinton War Memorial is located in the southern part of the churchyard of the Church of St Benedict, which is listed as Grade I, in front of the porch. It is a 4-meter tall cross made of Weldon limestone, featuring an intricate foliate head atop an octagonal shaft. The connection between the cross and the shaft is highlighted by a carved collar, and the shaft itself has a moulded foot.
The shaft rises from a square plinth that has inscriptions carved in relief. On the north face, it reads: "IN THANKFUL REMEMBRANCE OF THESE MEN WHO DIED FOR US IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919" followed by eight names. The west face states: "ALSO IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-1945" with three names listed.
The plinth is positioned on a slightly raised square base. In 2015, a shallow stone surround was added to the top of the base, which includes the names of those who fell in both world wars and the dedication: "WHEN YOU GO HOME TELL THEM OF US AND SAY FOR YOUR TOMORROW WE GAVE OUR TODAY."
