Westleton War Memorial

The Westleton War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was erected in 1920 by Fred Barber of Halesworth, with additions made for the Second World War. It is made of Portland stone and is located in a prominent roadside position within a small, triangular-shaped garden at the junction of The Street and Darsham Road, just south of the Grade II listed Westleton Village Hall.

The memorial features a 2.5-meter high rectangular stone obelisk topped with a triangular-pedimented roof, with engaged columns at the corners and a deep, ogee-moulded plinth on a single-stepped square base. The main (south) face of the obelisk displays a granite tablet inscribed with the names of 18 local men who lost their lives in the First World War. Above the tablet is a relief carving of a laurel wreath and swags, and below it is a dedicatory inscription that reads: "SACRED TO THE MEMORY / OF EIGHTEEN BRAVE MEN OF WESTLETON / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / FOR THEIR COUNTRY / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918."

On the south face of the base, the date 1939-1945 is inscribed along with the names of three parishioners who died during the Second World War. The memorial is situated in a circular gravel area within the small garden, which is enclosed by a chain link fence supported by white-painted concrete posts. A short gravel path on the south side provides access to the memorial from the adjoining pavement.
