Description
The Bramfield War Memorial is located in the churchyard, south of the Church of St Andrew and east of the detached church tower. It is situated opposite the serpentine walls to the north of Bramfield Hall. The memorial features a wheel-head cross made from Portland stone, standing approximately 2.7 meters high, on a tapering plinth and a two-stepped base.
The circle of the wheel-head is decorated with a carved rope design. The south face of the wheel-head displays a foliate decoration at the center of the cross. The front face of the cross shaft is adorned with a circular badge featuring a basket-work design, and below this, near the foot of the shaft, is a shield with the inscription "1914/ 1918," all carved in low relief.
The main inscription on the south face of the plinth reads, "TO THE GLORY OF GOD, AND IN/ MEMORY OF THE/ FOLLOWING MEN OF THIS/ PARISH WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ (5 NAMES)," with "LEST WE FORGET" inscribed on the upper step of the base below. Additionally, there is another inscription in incised and black-painted lettering on the west face of the plinth that reads "1939 1945/ (2 NAMES)."
