Description
The Southrepps War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, located in the churchyard of St James Church on Clipped Hedge Lane in Southrepps, Norfolk. It is prominently positioned in the southern part of the churchyard, near the edge and facing the road. The memorial features a Latin cross on a tapering shaft, set on a two-tiered plinth with a two-stepped base. The cross is topped with a pyramidal cap and has a Sword of Sacrifice carved in relief on the front of the cross and shaft. The top tier of the plinth has a slightly sloping cap with chamfered corners, while the bottom tier is deeper, featuring a moulded rim and chamfered corners where flint is inserted in vertical strips. The stepped base also includes flint inserted in horizontal strips.
The inscription, carved in relief, reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND TO KEEP/ IN MEMORY THE MEN OF SOUTHREPPS/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE/ 1914 – 1918/ (NAMES)/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES)."
