Description
The Salhouse War Memorial is a stone structure commemorating those who served in the First World War, erected around 1920, with additions for the Second World War. It is located on a grass verge on the east side of Bell Lane, just west of the churchyard of the Church of All Saints, which is listed as Grade I.
The memorial features an intricately carved Celtic wheel-head cross, adorned with relief carvings of Christ's head and a cross at its center. Each arm of the cross displays a symbolic image, likely representing a rose, an iris, a vine, and a passion flower, topped with a small, ridged canopy. The shaft of the cross includes three panels of relief carving, each showcasing a different style of Celtic knot-work. Below the cross is a trapezoidal plinth with a moulded cap that features the first word of the dedicatory inscription, while the remainder is inscribed on the main body of the plinth. The memorial rests on a two-stepped base and a concrete foundation.
The dedicatory inscription for the First World War is found on the plinth's moulded cap and the south-west face, reading: ‘ERECTED / BY THE PARISHIONERS OF SALHOUSE / IN PROUD AND LOVING MEMORY OF THE / MEN WHO FELL DURING THE GREAT WAR / 1914 TO 1919 / [Names] / THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE’. The Second World War dedication is inscribed on the plinth's north-east face, stating ‘1939 TO 1945 / [Names]’.
