Description
The Longham War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes later additions for other conflicts. It was erected between 1919 and 1939, and the architect is unknown.
The memorial is made of carved marble and features a simple obelisk mounted on a square plinth. The plinth is set on a single marble step, which in turn rests on a step made of a contrasting stone. The east face of the plinth is inscribed with "TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND IN MEMORY OF / (NAMES) / WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1918. / ERECTED BY THE PARISHONERS." The inscription on the west face reads "AND ALL / THOSE WHO HAVE / FALLEN IN OTHER / CONFLICTS," indicating that this addition was made later.
