Description
Warboys War Memorial is a First World War memorial erected in 1921 by Mr. C W Masters. It is made of carved granite and consists of a small granite Latin cross atop a rectangular granite pillar, which has a projecting cap stone. The pillar is set on a two-stepped plinth, resting on a square stone base. A metal bar is attached to the base, running along the front of the memorial. The entire structure stands 3 meters tall and features a rough-hewn finish, except for the front face of the column.
The memorial is situated on the High Street of the village, in front of the former Church of England school, at the junction with School Lane. It is located within the garden of the current building, which is enclosed by green metal fencing.
The memorial bears an inscription in leaded lettering that reads: "ERECTED IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF WARBOYS WHO FOUGHT AND DIED IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918. ALSO IN WORLD WAR 1939-1945. ALSO IN KOREA 1951."
