Description
First World War memorial, 1920.
DESCRIPTION: the memorial stands in the churchyard, to the west of the Church of All Saints (Grade II*).
The memorial comprises a stone cross fleury on a tapering octagonal shaft with a tapering octagonal plinth and three-stepped octagonal base. The memorial stands approximately 4m high.
The main inscription in incised lettering on the north face of the plinth and reads: IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF THE MEN/ FROM HOLLESLEY AND/ SHINGLE STREET, WHO/ LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR./ 1914–1919/ –/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR/ EVERMORE.
The names of the fallen are inscribed on the other faces of the plinth, organised by service: (east face) ARMY/ (5 NAMES)/ (north-east face) ROYAL NAVY/ (9 NAMES)/ (north-west face) ARMY/ (5 NAMES)/ (west face) ARMY/ SUFFOLK REG/ (10 NAMES)/.
The last two names on the Royal Navy panel are smaller and do not include regiments, suggesting that these are later additions to the memorial.
