Description
Little Plumstead War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, located in the churchyard next to the Grade II*-listed Church of St Gervase and Protase, south of the tower.
The memorial is made of rough-hewn grey granite and features a wheel-head cross. An inverted sword of sacrifice is carved in relief on the cross-head and shaft, with a trefoil design on the pommel and cross-guard. The shaft rises from a tapering, four-sided plinth that sits on a single-stepped base. The plinth displays an inscription and the names of the fallen in leaded lettering.
The inscription reads: "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 (13 NAMES) 'THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE'."
