Description
Little Stukeley War Memorial is located in the churchyard of St Martin’s Church. This memorial takes the form of a Latin cross with an octagonal profile and features a carved wreath on its front face. The cross is supported by a tapered octagonal shaft, which stands on an octagonal plinth that has carved corner panels and a moulded base.
On the front face of the memorial, there is a stone plaque that reads: "TO THE MEMORY OF/ THE FOLLOWING MEN OF LITTLE STUKELEY/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918/ “GOD PROVED THEM AND FOUND THEM/ WORTHY FOR HIMSELF” WISDOM III 5/ (NAMES)/ “LET THOSE WHO CAME AFTER SEE TO IT/ THAT THEIR NAMES ARE NOT FORGOTTEN”/ KING GEORGE V."
The back of the memorial is inscribed with: "1939 – 1945/ (NAME)/ UNTIL THE DAY DAWNS."
The memorial is enclosed by a chain fence that is attached to stone posts.
