Description
Bintree War Memorial is located in the churchyard of St Swithin’s Church on Church Road in Bintree, Norfolk. It is prominently positioned at a corner of the church tower. The memorial features a wheel-head cross with a Sword of Sacrifice carved in relief on the shaft, set on a tapering plinth with a single-stepped square base. The plinth has smooth recessed faces that display inscriptions in leaded lettering.
The inscription reads: "PARISH OF BINTREE/ IN MEMORIAM/ 1914 – 1918/ SONS OF THIS PLACE LET THIS OF YOU BE SAID/ THAT YOU WHO LIVE ARE WORTHY OF YOUR DEAD./ THESE GAVE THEIR LIVES THAT YOU WHO LIVE MAY REAP/ A RICHER HARVEST ERE YE FALL ASLEEP (NAMES)/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAME)."
