Description
The Caistor St Edmund War Memorial is a war memorial unveiled in 1922, dedicated to those who fell in the First and Second World Wars.
This limestone memorial features a tapered octagonal-plan cross with a crucifix on its front (east) elevation. It stands on a square-plan plinth and a two-stepped platform. The front elevation of the plinth is inscribed with the words: ‘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 is located at the west entrance of the scheduled remains of the Roman fort Venta Icenorum, approximately 105 meters north of the Church of St Edmund, which is listed at Grade II*.
