Woolmer Green War Memorial

The war memorial in the churchyard of St Michael’s and All Angels, Woolmer Green, was designed by Laurence A Turner (1882 – 1943): architectural sculptor, carver, modeller and architect.

It is made from Bramley Fall Stone and takes the form of a Latin Cross on a tall, round, tapering column with an octagonal base. This stands on a square plinth which is placed at the centre of a three stepped base. The plinth has recessed plaques on each side, three of which record the 11 names of those who died in the First World War. On the fourth is an inscription: IN PROUD MEMORY OF THE GALLANT MEN FROM THIS VILLAGE WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919. Below this, on the face of the top step are the dates 1939-1945, with the names of those who died in the Second World War inscribed on a long plaque attached to the face of the next step down.
