Description
The Wereham War Memorial is a tribute to those who served in the First and Second World Wars, erected around 1920, with names from the Second World War added after 1945. It is made of carved limestone and is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Margaret in Wereham, Norfolk. The memorial is prominently positioned in a gap in the churchyard wall, overlooking the village pond and green.
It features an approximately 4-meter tall stone Latin cross atop an octagonal shaft that has a moulded table or collar at the top and a moulded base section. This is set on a four-sided plinth with moulded upper edges and corners, resting on a two-stepped stone base. The memorial is enclosed by a semi-circular railing, separating it from passers-by.
Originally, the inscriptions were incised into the stone, but they have since been replaced with brass plaques that read: "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF WEREHAM WHO DIED FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 AND THOSE IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945 (NAMES)."
