Description
First World War memorial with later additions for the Second World War.
MATERIALS: carved from Bath stone.
DESCRIPTION: West Lynn War Memorial is located in the churchyard of St Peter’s Church, St Peter’s Road, West Lynn, Norfolk. It is prominently situated on the north side of the church, by the path leading to the church entrance. It comprises a Bath stone Latin cross of octagonal section, supported by a moulded table collar at the top of the tapering octagonal shaft with moulded foot, standing atop a square plinth and three-tiered octagonal base. Modern (around 2009) slate plaques added to each of the faces of the plinth.
The inscription was originally in incised lettering on the stone but has been replicated on incised plaques and reads: TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN / OF THIS PARISH / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 18 // (NAMES) // 1939 – 45 / (NAMES) //.
