Description
Wroxham War Memorial is a First World War memorial, built around 1920, located at the roadside of Norwich Road (A1151) at the junction with Church Lane in Wroxham, Norfolk. It is prominently positioned facing the corner of Church Lane and Norwich Road. The memorial features a small floriated cross with Celtic-inspired strap work incised on the face, set atop a shaft. The top half of the shaft also displays strap work, while the lower half contains an incised inscription. The memorial stands on an elegant two-tiered, moulded foot, which rests on a simple square base.
The main inscription, which is incised and painted, reads: "IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF / THE GLORIOUS DEAD / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / AT SEA, ON LAND AND IN THE AIR / FIGHTING FOR / GOD, KING AND EMPIRE, / 1914 – 1918 / (NAMES) / 1939 – 1945 / (NAMES)."
Additionally, there is a further inscription on the base that states: "THIS CROSS IS GIVEN TO THE VILLAGE OF WROXHAM IN LOVING MEMORY OF LT ARTHUR WILLIAM PASSMORE / WHO FELL IN ACTION NEAR HULLOCH, FRANCE APRIL 5TH 1916."
