Great Moulton War Memorial

The Great Moulton War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1919, with additions for the Second World War. It is made of Portland stone and is situated in the churchyard, within a small, square gravelled area immediately south of the Grade II* listed Church of St Michael.

The memorial features a wheel-head cross pattée. The south face of the cross displays detailed carvings of a Rose, Iris, Grape, and Passion of Christ Flower on each arm, along with a Tudor rose motif at the center. The wheel of the cross includes small floral carvings as well. The cross-head is mounted on a straight, four-sided shaft with a moulded foot, which has a wreath carved in relief on the upper half of the south face. The shaft rises from a tapering, four-sided plinth with a moulded cap and stands on a two-stepped base, with the lower step made of a different stone than the rest of the memorial.

The principal inscription on the shaft, located below the wreath, reads: "TO/ THE GLORY/ OF GOD./ 1914 – 1918." The names of the eight individuals who died are recorded below this inscription on the south face of the plinth. The dedication for the Second World War is found on the west face of the plinth, stating "1939 – 1945/ (3 NAMES)." All the lettering is incised and painted black.
