Description
The Melton War Memorial is a war memorial erected in 1920. It is made of roughly-hewn granite, with inscriptions in lead lettering. The memorial features a Celtic wheel-cross that is decorated with raised roundels on its arms and center. This cross stands on a tapered square plinth with a moulded top, which in turn rests on a square base. Each side of the plinth has recessed inscription panels. The main inscription on the front (south) face of the plinth reads:
TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND / TO THE UNDYING MEMORY / OF / THE MEN OF THIS PARISH / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / FOR/ KING AND COUNTRY / IN / 1914 - THE GREAT WAR – 1919 / "LEST WE FORGET"
The names of the 44 men who died are inscribed on the other three faces of the plinth.
