Description
Litcham War Memorial is a First World War memorial with additions for the Second World War, located in the churchyard south of the Grade I-listed Church of All Saints and near several Grade II-listed buildings.
The memorial features a limestone, Celtic wheel-head cross on a tapering shaft with a moulded foot. The cross-head is intricately carved with an interlaced Celtic knot work design. The shaft rises from a four-sided, tapering plinth that sits on a single-stepped base, which is on a concrete foundation. The plinth displays the inscriptions and names in incised lettering.
On the west face of the plinth, it reads: "IN REMEMBRANCE OF/ (15 NAMES)/ MEN OF LITCHAM AND KEMPSTONE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN/ THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918." The south face of the plinth states: "ALSO TO THE MEMORY OF/ (5 NAMES)/ WHO FELL IN WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945."
