Description
The Swilland War Memorial is a First World War memorial dating to around 1920. It is constructed of limestone and features a 3-meter tall elongated Latin cross on a tapered four-sided plinth, which stands on a square base. On the east face of the cross, there is a relief-carved sword. An inscription on the east side of the plinth reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE 1914 GREAT WAR 1918 (6 NAMES) GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS."
