Blakeney War Memorial

The Blakeney War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled and dedicated in 1921, with additions for the Second World War. The inscription tablets were renewed in the 1990s.

Constructed of brick and flint, the memorial features marble inscription tablets. It is located on the south side of New Road and consists of a tall, rectangular pedestal set on a terracotta tiled plinth with two steps. At the top, there is a triangular pediment. The panel dedicating the memorial to the First World War is placed within a round-headed niche and reads: "THESE / COTTAGES / ARE ERECTED IN / GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE / BLAKENEY MEN WHO GAVE / THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR / 1914 - 1918 [Names]." At the bottom of the pedestal, there is a small marble tablet inscribed: "AND THE SECOND WORLD WAR [Names]."

Low, curving flint walls with brick coping, plinths, and square end piers are attached to each side of the pedestal. Approximately 12 meters behind the memorial stand the Memorial Cottages, a pair of semi-detached bungalows built as part of the parish's commemorative scheme to honor the war dead, although the cottages themselves are not of special interest.
