Forncett St Peter War Memorial

The Forncett St Peter War Memorial is a First World War memorial from the early 1920s, with an addition for the Second World War. It is made of limestone and is situated in the churchyard to the west of the Church of St Peter, which is a Grade I-listed building.

The memorial features a limestone, wheel-head cross pattée. Each arm of the cross is adorned with detailed carvings of a Rose, Iris, Grape, and Passion of Christ Flower, while a Tudor rose motif is located at the center. The wheel of the cross also includes small floral carvings. The cross head is set atop a straight, four-sided shaft that has a simply-moulded foot and a relief-carved wreath beneath the cross head. This shaft rises from a tapering, four-sided plinth with a double-moulded cap and chamfered foot, which sits on a large stone base that has rusticated detailing and a bronze wreath affixed to the front. The entire structure rests on a small concrete platform.

The main inscription is located on the plinth, beneath an incised cross pattée symbol, and reads: "IN HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918." The other sides of the memorial display the names of the fallen and a dedication for the Second World War. All lettering is incised and painted black.
