Narborough War Memorial Cross

The memorial stands in the churchyard of the Church of All Saints (Grade I-listed). It is prominently situated just inside the churchyard entrance, facing Main Road. The memorial comprises a granite wheel-head cross with a reversed sword carved in low relief on the front face. The cross rises from a tapering plinth with two-stepped base, and is enclosed by a low granite kerb in-filled with chippings. The inscriptions are in applied metal lettering.

The principal dedicatory inscription begins on the front face of the foot of the cross shaft, reading TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD/ AND/ IN MEMORY OF and continuing on the plinth below (11 NAMES)/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES TO/ SAVE THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919. The later Second World War dedication recorded on the rear face of the plinth reads ALSO OF THOSE/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945/ (6 NAMES).
