Description
The Occold War Memorial is a stone structure erected in 1920 by the stonemasons Messrs Perfitt of Diss, following the First World War. It is located in the burial ground to the south of Church Street and the Church of St Michael, which is a Grade II*-listed building.
The memorial features a tall, elongated Latin stone cross with a tapering octagonal shaft. This shaft is mounted on an octagonal plinth, which in turn rests on a two-stepped octagonal base. On the front (north-east) face of the plinth, there is an inscription in leaded lettering that reads: "TO THE/ GLORY OF GOD,/ AND IN GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS/ PARISH, WHO FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914–1918." Additionally, the names of 15 members of the community who lost their lives are inscribed on the north and east faces of the plinth.
