Description
The Great Snoring War Memorial is a monument made of Clipsham stone, featuring a bronze plaque. It is located on the churchyard wall of the Grade I listed Church of St Mary, directly across from the Grade II listed buildings at 1, 2, and 4 The Street. The memorial is prominently positioned just to the left of the churchyard entrance, facing the main road. It consists of an engrailed cross made of Clipsham stone, which stands on a shaft atop the churchyard wall. Below the cross, on the roadside of the flint wall, are bronze name plaques commemorating those who served in the First and Second World Wars.
The main dedicatory inscription reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR. 1914-1919/ (22 NAMES)." The later plaque continues with the inscription: "1939-1946/ (2 NAMES)."
