Description
The Long Melford War Memorial is a Grade II-listed structure located within the churchyard of the Grade I-listed Holy Trinity Church. It is made of Clipsham stone and features a Latin cross with shields carved on four sides of the lower shaft, representing St Michael, St Nicholas, St George, and St Edmund.
The cross stands on an octagonal base that has a moulded cornice. The base displays the main dedicatory inscription in medieval script, which reads: "TO COMMEMORATE THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED OUT OF THE SIGHT OF MEN BY THE PATH OF DUTY AND SELF-SACRIFICE 1914-1919. LET THOSE WHO COME AFTER SEE TO IT THAT THEIR NAMES BE NOT FORGOTTEN." Above this, a two-stepped plinth is engraved with the 96 names of those who fell in the First World War. The names of the fallen from the Second World War, along with the dates 1939 - 1945, are inscribed on the base of the memorial beneath the principal inscription.
