Description

The Bucklesham War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. It is located in the churchyard, immediately south of the Church of St Mary, which is a Grade II* listed building, and near The Old Rectory, also Grade II listed.

The memorial features an elaborately carved stone crucifix atop a tapering square plinth that has a two-stepped square base. It stands approximately 2.7 meters high. Above the figure of Christ, there is a carved scroll inscribed with the letters INRI.

On the west side of the plinth, at its base, there is a rectangular stone plaque with flower holders carved on either side. The main inscription, in incised lettering on the west face of the plinth, reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN HONOURED AND GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918." The north face lists four names, while the south face lists three names.

Additionally, there is an inscription on a rectangular stone plaque attached to the west face of the base, which states: "ALSO OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WORLD WAR 1939 – 1945," followed by two names.
