Description

Hindringham War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes additions for the Second World War. It is made of marble and is located in the churchyard to the east of the Church of St Martin, which is a Grade I listed building.

The memorial features a stone cross fleurée with a lozenge aperture at its center, which sits atop a tapering, hexagonal shaft. This shaft has a collar and a stepped foot, with an inverted sword carved in relief on the east face. The shaft rises from a corniced, hexagonal plinth that has a molded foot, which is set on a two-stepped hexagonal base.

The three eastern faces of the plinth display inscriptions and names in leaded lettering on inset marble panels. The central face bears the inscription: "IN/ THANKFUL MEMORY OF/ THE SONS OF/ HINDRINGHAM/ WHO LAID DOWN THEIR/ LIVES FOR HOME AND/ COUNTRY IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919/ 'THEIR REWARD IS WITH THE/ LORD, AND THE CARE OF/ THEM WITH THE MOST HIGH’.” The names of 11 individuals are listed on the adjacent panels.

Below this inscription, set into the plinth foot, is another marble panel that reads "1939-1945/ (NAME)." The remaining faces of the plinth do not have marble panels.

The memorial is situated within a hexagonal graveled area that is bordered by stone kerbs.
