Description
Foulsham war memorial is made of Portland Stone and is situated on Market Hill, at the junction of High Street and Reepham Road. The memorial features a slender hexagonal needle obelisk that sits atop a hexagonal plinth with a moulded cap and foot, which is raised on a two-stepped hexagonal base.
At the foot of the plinth, there is a stone step inscribed with the Second World War commemorations, carved in the shape of a scroll. The front face of the plinth has an incised inscription that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THE PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919." The names of those commemorated from the First World War are listed on the other faces of the plinth. The inscription for the Second World War states: "THESE ALSO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE WORLD WAR 1939-1945," followed by ten names.
The memorial is surrounded by railings and a hexagonal block-paved and kerbed pavement. However, the railings and pavement are not considered to have special architectural or historic interest.
