Description
The Cretingham War Memorial is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Peter, which is also listed as Grade II*. It is situated near the churchyard gate and close to several other Grade II-listed buildings. The memorial stands approximately 3 meters high and features a stone obelisk on a pedimented plinth with a two-stage base. The front face of the obelisk is adorned with a low-relief carving of a reversed sword, which is encircled by a crown, with a wreath hanging from it.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads: "IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF CRETINGHAM/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ (5 NAMES)/ FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH." The names of the commemorated individuals are listed along with the regiment in which each served.
