Description
The Alresford War Memorial is a granite cross located by the roadside, near the scheduled and Grade II-listed ruins of the Church of St Peter. It features a tall, rough-hewn wheel-head cross that rises from a small, tapering pedestal, which is set on a low square base. The main dedicatory inscription at the base of the cross shaft reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE ALRESFORD MEN WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919." The names of those commemorated are inscribed on two faces of the pedestal.
