Description
The Haslingfield War Memorial is located in the churchyard, north of the Grade I-listed Church of All Saints. It stands 3.5 meters tall and features a simple wheel head cross with round bosses at the center and on the ends of the cross arms. This cross rises from a square-sectioned shaft, which is set on a tapered plinth, resting on a two-stepped square base.
At the base of the shaft, there is a dedicatory inscription, while the names of the fallen are inscribed on the sides of the plinth. The south face reads: "SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF THE HASLINGFIELD MEN WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919 (18 NAMES) 'THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE.'"
On the upper step of the base, the south face has an inscription that states: "GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS." The lower step reads: "THIS MONUMENT WAS ERECTED BY THE PARISHIONERS OF HASLINGFIELD."
The west face commemorates the Second World War with the inscription "1939 - 1945 (9 NAMES) THEY ARE IN PEACE." The east face honors a soldier from the Iraq conflict with the inscription "IRAQ 2003 (1 NAME) 'LAY ME WHERE YOU WILL BUT REMEMBER ME BEFORE THE ALTAR OF GOD.'"
The memorial is surrounded by a narrow gravel path, enclosed by a chain suspended from four low concrete posts.
