Description
The Brandeston War Memorial is located in the churchyard, to the north-east of the Church of All Saints, which is a Grade I listed building. The memorial features a simple Latin cross atop a tapering plinth, resting on a two-stepped concrete base. Both the cross and plinth are made of red Aberdeen granite. The memorial is surrounded by low iron posts and rails, which are decorated with an oval on each side containing a cross, creating a square enclosure around the base.
The main inscription, crafted in leaded lettering on the front face of the cross, reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR DEAR ONES WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918." The names of 16 servicemen are inscribed on the front face of the plinth.
Additionally, there is another inscription in leaded lettering on the west face of the plinth that states: "ALSO THE MEN WHO FELL IN THE WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945" followed by two names. A small brass plaque is attached to the upper step of the base.
