Cockfield War Memorial

Cockfield War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with additions for the Second World War. It is situated on a triangular traffic island at the junction of Church Lane and Howe Lane, near the former public house, Six Bells, which is also a listed building.

The memorial is made from light-grey Scottish granite and features a tall wheel-head cross with a tapering shaft that ends in a moulded foot. The shaft is set on a tapering, square plinth that sits atop a two-stepped, chamfered base, with the bottom step made from a different type of stone than the rest of the memorial.

The main inscription is located on the south-east face of the plinth and reads, "IN MEMORY OF/ THE COCKFIELD MEN/ WHO FELL IN THE WAR/ 1914–1919./ 'THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE.'" The names of 26 individuals who fell in the First World War are inscribed on the other three sides of the plinth.

An additional inscription on the south-east face of the upper step of the base states "1939–1945." The names of five individuals who fell in the Second World War are recorded on the remaining three sides of the base. All lettering is incised and painted black.

The memorial is set on an area of paving within a square enclosure formed by eight concrete posts connected by metal rails.
