Hethersett War Memorial

Hethersett War Memorial is made of Portland stone and is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Remigius, which is a Grade II*-listed building. The memorial is prominently placed by the churchyard path, to the north of the church. It is designed based on Sir Reginald Blomfield’s Cross of Sacrifice and features a tall, octagonal cross with a moulded foot that rises from an octagonal plinth. The front face of the cross displays a reversed sword. The plinth is set on a three-stepped octagonal base, with the lowest step featuring a slightly projecting cornice for placing floral tributes. The plinth has inscriptions in incised lettering.

The main dedicatory inscription reads "1914 - 1918/ IN/ MEMORY OF THE MEN/ OF THIS PARISH/ WHO MADE THE/ GREAT SACRIFICE/ THEIR NAME LIVETH/ FOR EVERMORE." The names of the commemorated individuals, along with their dates of death, are recorded around the plinth. The dedication for the Second World War states "1939 - 1945/ IN/ MEMORY OF THE MEN/ OF THIS PARISH/ WHO MADE THE/ GREAT SACRIFICE/ THEIR NAME LIVETH/ FOR EVERMORE," with names and dates of death listed on the plinth faces to either side. An additional inscription from 1956 is found on the final face of the plinth.
