Palgrave War Memorial

The Palgrave War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled in 1920 and later altered following the Second World War. It is made of granite and features a 2.4-meter high Celtic cross. The cross has a circular boss at its center, and its arms are adorned with knotwork in carved relief. It is supported by a tapered shaft that rests on a two-stage plinth. The plinth sits on a square base, which is further elevated by a square platform made of flint rubble.

The main inscription on the south face of the memorial states: (on the cross shaft) IN/ LOVING/ MEMORY/ OF/ (on the upper stage of the plinth) (15 NAMES)/ (on the lower stage of the plinth) WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918.

An additional inscription on the west face reads: (on the cross shaft) IN/ LOVING/ MEMORY/ OF/ (on the upper stage of the plinth) (7 NAMES)/ (on the lower stage of the plinth) WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE WORLD WAR/ 1939–1945.
