Description
Little Barningham War Memorial is a First World War memorial with additions for the Second World War, located in the churchyard to the south-west of the Grade II*-listed Church of St Andrew.
The memorial is made of limestone and features a chamfered, wheel-head cross with a splayed foot, set on a narrow, rectangular plinth that sits atop a chamfered block base. The west face of the cross-head has a circular emboss in the center, while the shaft and plinth display inscriptions and names in incised lettering, painted black.
The main inscription on the cross shaft reads: "ERECTED TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE SACRED MEMORY OF EIGHT PARISHIONERS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES WHILE SERVING THEIR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918." This is followed by the names of the eight individuals. Below this, the dates "1939 – 45" are incised into the upper surface of the plinth. Additionally, there is a second inscription on the plinth face: "THE GOLDEN EVENING BRIGHTENS IN THE WEST SOON SOON TO FAITHFUL WARRIORS COMES THEIR REST SWEET IS THE CALM OF PARADISE THE BLEST. ALLELUIA."
