Description
The Brancaster War Memorial is located on the north side of the main road through Brancaster, in the south-west corner of the churchyard of the Grade I-listed St Mary’s church. This memorial features a roughly-dressed 3-meter tall granite Celtic cross, with a wheel-cross head on a tapering shaft. An inverted sword in relief is depicted on the upper part of the memorial. The shaft stands on a tapering plinth, which has a smooth-dressed front face that bears the inscription: "ERECTED TO THE MEMORY/ OF BRANCASTER MEN/ WHO FELL IN THE WAR/ 1914 – 1919 (31 NAMES)/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE."
The base of the plinth has been modified to include an additional inscription for 1939-1945 (6 NAMES) and 1949/ BERLIN AIR LIFT (1 NAME). The churchyard wall at the corner has been replaced with iron railings on a stone kerb, which runs between two squat brick piers, allowing the memorial to be more visible. This arrangement is contemporary with the memorial itself.
