Description
The Girton War Memorial, made of Portland stone, was unveiled in 1919. It has a square plan and features a tapered obelisk on a pedimented plinth, with a stepped base enclosed by a low wrought-iron rail. The memorial is surrounded by a single course of cast-concrete paving slabs. The east side of the plinth and base has an inscription that honors the men of Girton who lost their lives during the First World War from 1914 to 1918, expressing gratitude for their sacrifice and bravery. The south and north sides each list ten names of those who fell in the First World War. The west side commemorates those who died in the Second World War from 1939 to 1945, with eleven names inscribed. The monument is located on the east side of the Cambridge Road in Girton village, south of the Church of St Andrew, which is listed as Grade II*.
