Description
The Kings Langley War Memorial is a memorial dedicated to those who fell in the First and Second World Wars. It was erected in 1920, with the names of the fallen from the Second World War added after 1945.
The memorial is carved from stone and is located in the churchyard of All Saints’ Church. It stands on a mound that is covered with rubble-stone paving, which can be accessed via stone steps at the southwest of the churchyard. There is also a path and a wrought-iron gateway that leads from the adjacent Watford Road.
The memorial features a Latin cross set upon a capital at the top of a tapering octagonal shaft, which has a moulded base. It is positioned on a moulded octagonal plinth and a two-tier stepped base. The base bears the inscription: REMEMBER/ BEFORE GOD/ THOSE FROM/ THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY 1914-1918. The names of those who fell in both World Wars are inscribed on bronze plaques that are set into the sides of the plinth.
