Description
The Barnby War Memorial is located in a prominent position by the roadside, on a triangular piece of land to the north side of Beccles Road (A146). It features a tall Maltese cross made from granite, which stands approximately 3.3 meters high on a rough-hewn, tapering plinth that is square in shape and has a two-stepped base. The memorial is enclosed by a square area formed by four substantial iron corner posts connected by plain railings.
The main inscription is incised on the cross shaft, stating "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND," and continues on the plinth with "IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ MEN OF BARNBY/ WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914–1919./" followed by ten names. Additionally, there is another incised inscription on a square polished granite tablet at the base of the memorial that reads "1939–1945/" along with two names.
