Description
The Hauxton War Memorial is located close to the road in the churchyard of St Edmund’s parish church, which is listed as Grade I. This memorial is a 3-meter tall limestone cross featuring a wheel cross-head, with the wheel designed as a laurel wreath. The shaft is tapering and octagonal, rising from a square plinth.
On the south face of the plinth, the inscription reads: "IN MEMORY OF THE/ MEN WHO GAVE THEIR/ LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919/ ALSO/ THE SECOND WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945." The other faces bear additional inscriptions: on the west side, "TO/ THE GLORY OF/ GOD"; on the north side, "THEIR REWARD IS WITH/ THE LORD. WISDOM V. 15"; and on the east side, "FROM THIS PARISH," followed by the names of five individuals who served in the First World War and two from the Second World War.
Surrounding the base of the memorial is a narrow flower bed defined by a stone kerb.
