Benwick War Memorial

Benwick War Memorial is located at the corner of High Street and Lilyholt Road in the village. The memorial is made of granite and features a Latin cross on a two-stepped base, which is set on a two-tier plinth. The lower tier of the plinth is a square block with a chamfered upper edge, while the upper tier is tall and square in section. Attached to the west, north, and south faces of the upper tier are contrasting pink granite plaques that display the names of the 44 men who died in the First World War in black lettering. There is also a plaque on the west face of the lower tier with the inscription: "THIS MONUMENT WAS ERECTED IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919 HE GIVETH HIS BELOVED SLEEP." The south face of the memorial features the dates of the Second World War, 1939-1945, along with a single name below. The plinth is supported by a two-stepped base. The iron railings surrounding the memorial are not original and are not included in the listing.
