Description
MATERIALS: Marble.
DESCRIPTION: Harpley war memorial is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Lawrence (Grade I). It is prominently situated to the left of the churchyard path leading to the south church porch. It comprises a simple marble obelisk, square on plan, standing on a tapering plinth with three-stepped base below. The memorial stands within a square kerbed and gravelled area. The plinth bears the inscriptions in applied metal lettering.
The principal dedicatory inscription reads: THIS MEMORIAL/ WAS ERECTED/ BY THE PARISHIONERS OF HARPLEY/ IN MEMORY OF/ THE GALLANT MEN WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918. The commemorated names, with unit or regiment, are recorded on the sides of the plinth. The later dedication reads: THESE MEN ALSO SERVED/ WITH OTHERS FROM THIS PARISH/ IN THE 1939 - 1945 WAR.
