Description
The Danbury War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. It is situated on Elm Green at the junction of Elm Green Lane and Bell Hill.
The memorial features a approximately 7.3-meter high Latin cross made of Portland stone, which rises from an octagonal plinth on a four-stepped base. A bronze Sword of Sacrifice is attached to the south face of the cross.
On the south face of the plinth, there is an incised inscription that reads: "IN THANKFULNESS TO GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF DANBURY WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 1917." The names of 24 men who fell during the First World War are listed on the north, east, and west faces of the plinth. The south-west face of the plinth includes the inscription "(7 NAMES) 1939," while the south-east face reads "(7 NAMES) 1945."
