Description
The Winterton-on-Sea War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled and dedicated in 1919. It is made of Cornish granite and is located in the churchyard of the Church of the Holy Trinity and All Saints, which is a Grade I listed building, approximately 3.6 meters south of the church's south porch.
The memorial features a Celtic wheel-head cross with a tall shaft that rises and tapers in a rectangular section from a trapezoidal plinth, which has polished surfaces for the leaded inscriptions. It stands on a single-step base of granite, which is supported by a two-stepped concrete sub base.
The dedicatory inscription is located on the west face of the plinth and reads, "THIS MEMORIAL / WAS ERECTED TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND IN HONOUR OF THOSE MEN / OF THIS PARISH / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1918." The south face of the memorial lists the names of 12 local servicemen who died, while the north face records an additional six names.
