Colney War Memorial

Colney War Memorial is situated at the roadside of the Old Watton Road, opposite the Church of St Andrew in Colney, South Norfolk. The memorial features a polished pink granite wheel-head cross mounted on a plinth with a moulded upper section, which stands on a single-stepped base made of a contrasting stone. The plinth displays inscriptions in leaded lettering and is surrounded by a small paved area.

The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads: "ERECTED TO THE HONOURED AND PERPETUAL MEMORY OF (NAMES) OF THIS PARISH WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTRY UNTO DEATH IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918. NO FEAR WAS THEIRS NOR DOUBT NOR HESITATION. NO THOUGHT OF DANGER THAT THE DAY MUST BRING. BUT COURAGE HIGH AND CALM DETERMINATION AND FAITH THAT DREADS NOT DEATH OR SUFFERING. REST WELL DEAR SONS FOR AT THE GREAT AWAKING WHEN CHRIST SHALL CALL HIS SOLDIERS TO HIS SIDE. HIS PROMISE STANDS THERE SHALL BE NO FORSAKING OF THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR HIM AND FIGHTING DIED."

The dedication for the Second World War is located on the rear of the plinth and reads: "1939 – 1945 (NAMES)."
