Description
The Stebbing War Memorial is located on a small green at the road junction west of the Church of St Mary, which is a Grade I-listed building. The memorial features a Latin cross made of Cornish granite, with octagonal arms and shaft, and a moulded foot. The shaft is supported by an octagonal plinth that sits on a three-stepped, octagonal base.
On one face of the plinth, the principal inscription reads "TO THE MEMORY/ OF STEBBING MEN/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918." The names of those who died in the First World War are listed on adjacent faces. Another face features the inscription "GREATER LOVE HATH/ NO MAN THAN THIS/ THAT A MAN LAY/ DOWN HIS LIFE/ FOR HIS FRIENDS."
Additionally, one face of the plinth includes the years "1939 – 1945," with the names of six servicemen who died in the Second World War recorded below. All inscriptions are made with attached metal lettering that is painted with black enamel.
