Description
The Huntingfield War Memorial Cross is situated on The Green at the junction of Brick Kiln Lane and The Street. It stands opposite The Hub, which was formerly the site of Huntingfield Village Hall, a First World War army hut, and is near several Grade II-listed buildings, including the Huntingfield Arms.
This memorial is crafted from rough-hewn granite and takes the form of a Celtic cross. The front face of the cross-head and shaft features a reversed sword carved in low relief. The shaft is set on a tapering plinth, which rests on a low concrete base. The front face of the plinth is smooth and displays a dedicatory inscription in leaded lettering that reads: IN HONOUR/ OF THE MEN OF HUNTINGFIELD/ WHO DIED FOR US/ 1914 – 1918/ LEST WE FORGET, listing ten names.
The names inscribed on the memorial are arranged in alphabetical order. Additionally, a dedication on the side of the plinth notes the dates of the Second World War, followed by four names, also listed in alphabetical order.
