Beighton War Memorial

Beighton War Memorial is a First World War memorial with an addition for the Second World War, located just outside the entrance to the churchyard of the Grade I-listed Church of All Saints in Beighton.

The memorial features a stone wheel-head cross adorned with Celtic knot work designs carved in relief on the north-west face of the cross-head and wheel. It has a square shaft with a moulded foot that displays the dedication, "TO THE GLORY OF GOD," on the north-west face. The shaft rises from a four-sided, chamfered plinth that sits atop a three-stepped stone base; the upper step is square with chamfered corners that have semi-circular projections from the chamfered face, while the other two steps are octagonal. The entire structure is supported by a square concrete foundation.

The main inscription is found on a stone plaque on the north-west face of the plinth, which has a gabled top with a ball finial. The inscription reads, "AND/ IN UNDYING HONOUR OF/ BEIGHTON MEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918/ (8 NAMES)/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE."

Additionally, a further dedication is inscribed on the south-west face, which states, "ALSO IN MEMORY OF/ (NAME)/ WHO FELL IN THE 1939 - 45 WAR." All lettering is incised and painted black.
