Description
The Wighton War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes later additions for the Second World War. It is constructed of stone and features iron railings set within a concrete base.
The memorial consists of an elaborate floriated cross with a diamond-shaped piercing at its center, mounted on a tapering four-sided shaft. A sword of sacrifice is carved in relief on the front face of the shaft. This shaft is supported by a square plinth that has a moulded cap and foot, resting on a two-stepped base. The plinth is inscribed in relief and reads: "IN MEMORY OF THOSE/ FROM THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918// 1915/ (NAMES)// 1916 - 17/ (NAMES)// 1918/ (NAMES)// 1939 - 1945/ (NAMES)."
The cross is enclosed by decorative iron railings that are set in a concrete base.
