Newnham War Memorial

The Newnham War Memorial is located in front of the church of St Mark. It stands approximately 4 meters tall and is made of Portland stone. The memorial features a simple yet elegant cross atop an octagonal shaft, which rises from a square plinth with chamfered edges, set on a two-stage octagonal base. As of 2015, the dedicatory inscription and the names of the fallen have become so eroded that they are only partially legible. The dedication reads: "IN HIS WILL IS OUR PEACE/ FOR NONE OF US LIVETH TO HIMSELF/ NO MAN DIETH TO HIMSELF" and "TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR 1914-1919." There are 51 names of the fallen inscribed, along with those of parishioners who died in the Second World War. A small tablet in front of the memorial, which is not included in the listing, indicates that the names of the fallen are also recorded inside the church.
