Description
The Brockdish War Memorial is a memorial dedicated to those who served in the First and Second World Wars, erected around 1920, with additional names from the Second World War added after 1945. It is made of carved Portland stone and is located in the churchyard of St Peter and St Paul Church on Church Lane in Brockdish, Norfolk. The memorial is prominently placed by the churchyard path near the church porch.
It features a gothic floriated cross atop a slender, tapering, collared, octagonal shaft, which stands on a tall, four-sided plinth with gabled panels, all resting on a three-stepped octagonal base. In front of the plinth, a slanted footstone was added on the uppermost step of the base to honor the fallen of the Second World War. The plinth is inscribed with names in incised and black-painted lettering.
The inscription reads: "TO / THE GLORY OF GOD / AND / IN HONOURED MEMORY OF / THOSE WHO FELL IN THE / GREAT WAR 1914 – 18 / THEIR NAME WILL LIVE FOR / EVERMORE // (NAMES) / / ALSO / TO THOSE WHO FELL IN / THE SECOND WORLD WAR / 1939 – 45 / (NAMES)."
