Description
The Wimpole and Arrington War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes later additions for the Second World War. It is made of Cornish granite and is situated at a junction between the villages of Wimpole and Arrington on Cambridge Road.
The memorial features a wheel-head cross with a Sword of Sacrifice carved in relief on the front face. This cross is mounted on a square plinth and base. The front face of the plinth has a polished panel that bears the dedication: "IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF WIMPOLE AND ARRINGTON WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918" followed by the names of the fallen. At the base of the shaft, there is another polished panel listing the names of those who fell in the Second World War, preceded by the years "1939 – 1945."
