Description
The Heybridge War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled in 1921. It is made of Portland limestone and is located on Goldhanger Road, inside the front entrance of the cemetery. The memorial stands approximately 3 meters high and takes the form of a cross with a tapering shaft and chamfered edges. A stone relief sword is featured on the front.
The memorial is supported by a two-tier octagonal base, which holds an octagonal plinth. The front face of the plinth is inscribed with the words: ‘TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN HONOUR OF THE / MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL DURING THE / GREAT WAR / 1914-1918 WE WILL REMEMBER THEM’. The names of the fallen are inscribed on the other faces of the plinth. Additionally, there are three stone tablets affixed to the base. The central tablet is inscribed: ‘AND THOSE KILLED/ IN THE WORLD WAR/ 1939-1945’, while the flanking tablets list the names of the fallen.
