Description
The Sutton War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled after 1919, with additions made after the Second World War.
The memorial is square in shape and constructed from stone with a textured finish. It features inscriptions in leaded lettering. Located about 5 meters south of the Church of All Saints, Sutton (which is listed as Grade II*), the memorial stands approximately 3 meters tall. It consists of a Celtic wheel-cross with a tapering shaft and moulded base, set on a trapezoidal pedestal with a single-stepped square plinth. At the center of the cross, there is a relief of the Christogram, ‘IHS’, carved in intertwining letters within a circular panel.
On the south face of the pedestal, a recessed panel bears the inscription: "TO THE/ IMPERISHABLE MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF SUTTON/ WHO DIED FOR FREEDOM/ IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919/ LEST WE FORGET." The names of the 14 men who lost their lives are inscribed on the east and west faces of the pedestal. Additionally, the north face of the pedestal features the inscription: "1939-1945/ IN/ GRATEFUL MEMORY OF (5 NAMES)/ AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING/ WE WILL REMEMBER THEM."
