Barrington War Memorial

The war memorial stands on a small triangular green adjoining the south entrance to the churchyard of the church of All Saints’ (Grade I). Some 4m tall overall, it takes the form of a gabled calvary with a small metal Christ figure atop a hexagonal Doulting stone shaft rising from a square plinth with chamfered corners. That is set on a three-stage, octagonal, sandstone base. Inscribed on the plinth is (side one): IN MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF THIS VILLAGE WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR FROM 1914/ TO 1918 AND IN GRATITUDE FOR THEIR SACRIFICE/ R. I. P. (side two): (names). (side three): THE WORLD WAR/ (names)/ DIED WHILE ON ACTIVE/ SERVICE 1939 – 1945. Further names were added for later losses. The memorial is surrounded by a chain link fence mounted on short concrete posts.
