Description
The East Raynham War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with additions for the Second World War. It is made of Portland stone and is situated in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary, which is a Grade II* listed building, within Raynham Park, a Grade II registered area.
The memorial features a Latin cross atop an orb, which is mounted on an octagonal shaft that has a moulded cap and foot. This shaft rises from a four-sided plinth that displays inscriptions in leaded lettering. Below the plinth is a three-stepped square stone base.
The main inscription is located on the front (west) face of the plinth and reads: "IN LASTING MEMORY OF/ (12 NAMES)/ 1914 – 1918/ (1 NAME)." On the rear (east) face, the inscription states: "GREATER LOVE HATH/ NO MAN THAN THIS." Additionally, the six names of those who died in the Second World War are inscribed on the south face, with the dates 1939-1945 noted beneath.
