War memorial cross at Ormesby St Margaret

The war memorial stands in a triangular gravelled area to the eastern end of the green in the junction of Cromer Road, North Road, and Station Street. It comprises a dressed grey granite wheel-head cross standing on a pedestal. The pedestal has a moulded cap and two-stage foot, and chamfered corners, and stands on an octagonal base.

The pedestal bears the inscriptions in applied metal lettering. The principal dedicatory inscription to the front face of the pedestal reads TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND/ IN MEMORY OF/ THOSE SAILORS AND SOLDIERS/ OF/ ORMESBY ST MARGARET/ ORMESBY ST MICHAEL/ SCRATBY AND CALIFORNIA/ WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918/ AND/ 1939 – 1945. The commemorated First World War names are listed on the other faces, whilst the Second World War casualty names are recorded on the chamfered faces of the upper stage of the pedestal foot.
