Description
Honing War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1919, located in the churchyard to the east of the Grade II*-listed Church of St Peter and St Paul.
The memorial is made of Clipsham sandstone and features a small wheel-head cross fleurée above a moulded collar adorned with floral carvings. This cross sits atop a slender, fluted shaft that ends in a square base with inverted chamfered stops at the corners. The shaft rises from a four-sided plinth with a moulded foot, which is placed on a three-stepped octagonal base. The entire structure stands on an octagonal concrete platform.
The plinth is inscribed with names carved in relief. The east face reads: "TO THE PRAISE OF GOD/ AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THE MEN FROM HONING WHO/ GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR/ 1914 – 1919." The names of 13 individuals are listed on the other faces of the plinth, organized by regiment or military service.
