Description
The Fakenham War Memorial is located at the edge of the Market Place, within the pedestrianised Square. It features a stone cross on a tapering shaft, which stands on an octagonal plinth raised on a four-stepped octagonal base. The memorial is enclosed by ornate railings. Inscriptions commemorating those who died in both the First and Second World Wars are carved into the sides of the plinth and the steps, listing the names of the fallen. The inscriptions state:
IN/ GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ OUR GLORIOUS DEAD/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918 (96 NAMES)
IN/ GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ OUR GLORIOUS DEAD/ WHO FELL/ IN THE WAR/ 1939 – 1945 (24 NAMES)
Additionally, five more names are inscribed, including two from the Second World War, two from the Korean War, and one from Iraq (1954).
