Description

Haddiscoe War Memorial is a First World War memorial with an addition for the Second World War. It is situated on elevated ground in the churchyard, southeast of the Grade I-listed Church of St Mary and the Grade II-listed Monument to William Salter.

The memorial features a limestone cross pattée with a slightly tapering four-sided shaft, which rises from a two-stepped base. The east face of the cross-head has small, square flint tiles inserted into each arm, arranged in a circular pattern at the center. Similar tiles are also set in a geometric pattern on the east and west faces of the shaft. The entire structure stands on a stone slab foundation.

The base carries the names and inscriptions. The First World War dedication is on the east face of the lower step, stating, "THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ HAVING DIED THEY ARE NOT DEAD." The names of 20 servicemen who died are recorded on the four faces of the upper step, with an additional three names listed on the west face of the lower step. The lettering is incised.

On the north face of the bottom step, there is an oval-shaped, cast bronze plaque that bears the Second World War dedication, "1939/ (6 NAMES)/ & LATER FROM INJURIES/ (1 NAME)/1945."
