Description
The Burgh St Margaret War Memorial is a stone structure dedicated to the memory of those who fell in the First and Second World Wars. It was erected in 1922, with the names of the fallen from the Second World War added after 1945.
Located in the churchyard of St Margaret’s Church on Main Road in Fleggburgh, Norfolk, the memorial is prominently positioned near the churchyard wall, which has been partially removed to allow for concrete steps leading to the base of the cross. The memorial features a wheel-head cross atop a tall, slender shaft, with a tapering plinth and base set into a low alcove that is recessed from the churchyard wall. The plinth and the low back wall display inscriptions in incised lettering.
The inscription reads: "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN / OF BURGH & BILLOCKBY / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / IN THE GREAT WAR // (NAMES) / 1914 1918 / (NAMES) / 1939 1945."
