Description
First World War memorial, erected around 1920, with Second World War additions.
DESCRIPTION: Edgefield War Memorial is prominently located on The Green in Norwich Road, Edgefield. It comprises a concrete pillar on a two-stepped square concrete base. The pillar supports a four-sided head made of stone and bearing polished black inscription panels. The head has a cap sculpted to appear tiled, and surmounting this is a Latin cross on a ball. The whole is surrounded by a low kerb. The inscription panels are 2004 additions, replacing the original inscriptions that were carved in relief directly onto the stone but which became weathered and illegible.
The inscription reads: TO KEEP IN REMEMBERANCE/ THE MEN OF EDGEFIELD WHO/ SERVED IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ FALLEN/ (NAMES)/ THE MEN WERE VERY GOOD// WOUNDED/ (NAMES)/ UNTO US AND WE WERE NOT HURT// SERVED/ (NAMES)/ THEY WERE A WALL UNTO US// SERVED/ (NAMES)/ BOTH BY DAY AND NIGHT
The Second World War inscription panel which was added onto the main body of the pillar reads:1939 - 1945 / (NAMES).
