Description
The Kelling War Memorial is a First World War memorial, built around 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. The memorial cross, approximately 4 meters high, is located on a small green where The Street meets the A149. It features a stone cross with a small foliate head rising from a crown, set atop a tapering octagonal shaft. This shaft rises from a relatively small square plinth, which is placed on a five-sided base consisting of two main stages; the lower stage is stepped out to create a shelf for wreaths. The plinth is inscribed with the words: "TO KEEP IN REMEMBRANCE THE MEN OF KELLING WHO FELL IN THE WARS OF 1914-1918 AND 1939–1945." The names of those who fell are listed on the other three sides of the memorial. Additionally, the upper stage of the base bears the inscription "THEIR NAME LIVETH."
