Description
Dickleburgh War Memorial is made of Portland stone and is located in the churchyard of the Church of All Saints, which is a Grade I-listed building. The memorial is prominently placed by the churchyard wall, which has been partially removed to provide direct access from the street through a wrought iron gate.
The memorial features a stone Latin cross atop a collared and footed octagonal shaft. Below the shaft is a three-tiered plinth. The upper section of the plinth displays the main inscription and is accented by miniature mock-Corinthian style pilasters at each corner. The middle section has deep moulding, and the slightly wider lower section also includes inscriptions. This is supported by a two-stepped square base.
The inscription on the upper panel reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918. 'HE THAT LOSETH HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE SHALL FIND IT'." There are twenty names inscribed on the adjacent panels. The front face of the central tier has the inscription "1938" followed by one name, while the lower tier is inscribed "1939 – 1945," which includes eight names on the adjoining faces.
