Description
War memorial, unveiled in 1922, dedicated to the fallen of the First and Second World Wars.
The limestone war memorial takes the form of a tapered octagonal-plan cross bearing a crucifix on its front (east) elevation, standing on a square-plan plinth and two-stepped platform. The plinth is inscribed on its front elevation and reads: ‘LET US ALWAYS REMEMBER / BEFORE GOD THESE GALLANT / MEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / FOR THE EMPIRE AND FOR / FREEDOM IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 - 1918’.
The memorial stands at the west entrance and within the scheduled remains of the Roman fort Venta Icenorum, approximately 105m north of the Church of St Edmund (listed at Grade II*).
