Description
The Postwick War Memorial Cross is a grey granite structure located in the churchyard of the Church of All Saints, which is also listed at grade II*. The memorial stands close to the church's south wall and features a rough-hewn wheel-head cross that is approximately 2 meters tall, set upon a tapering plinth. This plinth is elevated on a square granite step, which rests on a concrete foundation.
The plinth displays inscriptions made with applied metal lettering. The main dedicatory inscription on the west face of the plinth reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THIS COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918." The names of seven individuals who served in the First World War are listed on the front face of the plinth. Additionally, a small granite tablet has been added at the base of the memorial to record the names of three individuals who served in the Second World War, with the inscription reading "1939 - 1945."
