Wymondham War Memorial

The Wymondham War Memorial is a First World War memorial made of sandstone from Robin Hood quarry. It is situated in Town Green, at the junction of Vicar Street and Middleton Street.

The memorial features a stone obelisk atop a tall, elaborate pedestal, which has angle-set scrolled acanthus leaf console brackets. Each face of the pedestal includes a segmental arch, beneath which is a shouldered inscription panel adorned with foliate borders. The base of the obelisk displays a wreath on each face, and the front face features a Latin cross carved in relief on the shaft of the obelisk. The entire structure rests on a square three-stepped base, with chamfered corners. At these corners, there are low inscription stones that list the names of those who died in the Second World War.

The memorial is set within an area of decorative paving, surrounded by a planting border that was added later. The pedestal lists the names of First World War casualties in incised and black painted lettering. A dedication is carved in relief around the bottom of the pedestal, while the Second World War inscription is found on the low stones around the base, also in incised and black painted lettering. The dedicatory inscriptions are carved in relief, with the names incised and painted.
