Description
The Binham War Memorial is a granite cross commemorating those who served in the First World War, with later additions for the Second World War. Made of grey granite, it is located in the churchyard of Binham Priory, which is a Grade I listed building. The memorial is prominently positioned to the left of the churchyard path that leads from the Gatehouse, also Grade I listed, to the church, with the West Front of the church serving as a backdrop.
The memorial features a rough-hewn wheel-head cross, approximately 2.5 meters tall, with a dedicatory inscription at the base of the shaft. It stands on a tapering plinth with a single square base, raised on a simple concrete foundation.
The inscription is in leaded lettering and reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD." This continues on a granite tablet affixed to the front face of the plinth, stating: "AND IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 18 (11 NAMES) ALSO 1939 - 45 (5 NAMES)."
