Description
The Burnham Overy Staithe War Memorial is located on the south side of the main Wells road through Burnham Overy Staithe. It stands approximately 3.6 meters high and features a roughly-dressed granite Celtic cross mounted on a short tapering shaft. This shaft connects to a tapering plinth, which is set on a square base made of granite and dressed flint flushwork blocks.
The inscriptions on the memorial, which run from the plinth onto the base on the north side, read: "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF BURNHAM OVERY WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919 (NAMES) 'LEST WE FORGET' ALSO (NAMES) WHO FELL IN THE WAR 1939 – 1945." On the west side of the plinth, it states: "DIED SINCE THE WAR FROM WOUNDS OR INJURY SUSTAINED WHILE SERVING (NAMES)."
The memorial is bordered at the front by knee-high railings that are supported by four low granite posts.
