Description
Kirstead War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes later additions for the Second World War. It is constructed of stone and features a small Latin cross on a block that has a relief-carved shield. This block is set on a square plinth with rounded corners, which includes buttresses on each side topped with moulded caps and dressed quoins. The plinth displays inscriptions in incised lettering, which reads on the front: "IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH & SOME NEIGHBOURS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 MAY THEY REST IN PEACE 1939 – 1945 (NAME)." The reverse side lists names.
