Description
The Great Ryburgh War Memorial is located on the north side of Station Road, set within a semi-circular enclosure defined by a coped flint cobble and red brick wall at the back. In front, there are railings on a low brick wall with a centrally-positioned gate. The curved rear wall ends at the pavement with broad red brick piers topped with shallow pyramidal stone caps.
The memorial features a tall polished grey granite pillar topped with a moulded cap and a small finial, standing on a two-stage plinth. The base has two steps made of different materials. The moulded cap is adorned with incised foliate motifs, and there are incised cable and diamond patterns in bands around the top and bottom of the pillar shaft. The upper stage of the plinth has its faces outlined with incised lines, and both the pillar and plinth display inscriptions.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pillar reads: "IN HONOURED AND LOVING MEMORY OF THE MEN FROM GREAT & LITTLE RYBURGH & TESTERTON WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919 AND 1939-1945." The names of those who died in the First World War are listed on the sides of the pillar and the upper stage of the plinth, arranged by year of death. The four names from the Second World War are inscribed on the front faces of the plinth stages, also in chronological order, while the inscription on the east face of the upper plinth stage reads "KOREA 1952 (NAME)."
