Description
First World War memorial, unveiled in 1921, with later addition for the Second World War.
MATERIALS It is constructed of flint with ashlar dressings.
DESCRIPTION The war memorial is prominently situated alongside the main road through the village of West Runton, abutting the boundary wall to the churchyard. Three steps lead up to the memorial which takes the form of an angled or canted wall constructed of cut and squared flints laid in regular courses with ashlar dressings. It has a moulded cornice and a frieze which is inscribed in painted lettering:
THEY WERE A WALL UNTO US BOTH BY NIGHT AND DAY
There are three panels fixed to the front of the memorial which carry the inscriptions. The outer panels bear the names of the fallen from the First World War, while the central one reads:
TO THE MEN OF/ RUNTON/ WHO FELL / (NAMES)/ 1939-1945.
