Holme Hale War Memorial

Holme Hale War Memorial is a First World War memorial with additions from the Second World War, located in the churchyard of the Church of St Andrew, which is a Grade I-listed building, to the north-west of the entrance porch.

The memorial features a wheel-head cross made of Portland stone, set on a tall shaft with a moulded foot. The cross and shaft are inset on the east face, with the monogram IHS carved in relief within a circle at the center of the cross-head, accompanied by four floral relief roundels on each arm of the cross. The shaft rises from a tapering, four-sided plinth that sits atop a single-step base. This entire structure is placed on a wider, square stone platform. The plinth bears inscriptions in incised lettering that is painted black.

The main inscription is located on the east face of the plinth, reading: IN PROUD/ AND GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THOSE/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918./ "THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE". The names of 11 individuals who died, along with their regiments, are listed on the north and south faces of the plinth. The west face features a dedication that reads: IN/ GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ (2 NAMES)/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945.

Surrounding the memorial on the upper surface of the stone platform are eight small decorative iron posts, with a chain hung between them.
