Description
The Wreningham War Memorial is a limestone cross located on the southern edge of the churchyard of the Church of All Saints, which is a Grade I-listed building. The memorial features a Latin cross-head on a collared cross shaft that is octagonal in shape. This shaft rises from a two-stage plinth that is square in plan and stands on a large base. The lower stage of the plinth is made from limestone ashlar, with knapped facing flints visible on three sides. The base consists of flint cobbles topped with a stone cap.
The main dedicatory inscription is found on the front face of the shouldered upper stage of the plinth, which reads "REMEMBER/ THOSE/ WHO DIED/ FOR KING AND COUNTRY/ 1914 1919." The names of those commemorated from the First World War are listed on the other faces. The dedication for the Second World War is located on the front face of the lower stage of the plinth and reads "1939 1945/ (NAMES)."
