Description
The Lode War Memorial is located on the western edge of the churchyard of the parish Church of St James in Lode, a prominent site along the village High Street.
The memorial features a Celtic wheel cross set on a tapering plinth, which is raised on two square stone steps. The arms and shaft of the cross have simple raised, moulded edges, while the cross ring is plain. It stands within a semi-circular paved area that is enclosed by a curved Gault brick wall on its eastern side, which forms the boundary of the churchyard and ends in low brick piers.
The front (west) face of the plinth has an inscription in pinned lead lettering that reads, "THIS MEMORIAL IS ERECTED BY THEIR FELLOW / PARISHIONERS TO THE REVERED MEMORY OF THE MEN / OF THE PARISH OF LODE WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918." The names of the fallen are listed on the plinth in two columns, each containing seven names.
Additionally, an ashlar limestone band below the coping on the wall behind the cross is inscribed with, "TO THE REVERED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THE PARISH OF LODE WHO / FELL IN THE WAR 1939-1945," followed by the names of five men who lost their lives.
