Description
Ellington War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled in 1920, located in the churchyard to the north of the Church of All Saints, which is a Grade I-listed building.
The memorial features an obelisk that rises from a pedestal with a moulded collar and foot, all set on a single stepped base. The north face of the pedestal is inscribed with "ERECTED IN HONOUR OF (NAMES) WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918." The east face includes the words "PASS NOT THIS STONE IN SORROW BUT IN PRIDE AND MAY YOU LIVE AS NOBLY AS THEY DIED." On the south face, the inscription reads "ALSO IN MEMORY OF (NAME) WHO DIED AT COLOGNE WHILE SERVING WITH THE ARMY OF OCCUPATION," and the west face states "THEY DIED FOR LIBERTY AND HONOUR."
