Description
Gislingham War Memorial is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary, which is a Grade I-listed building, to the north-west of the church tower. The memorial is made of limestone and features a three-stepped base, a tall plinth, and a wheel-head cross. The front face of the wheel-head is adorned with crossed flags carved in low relief. The inscriptions on the memorial are incised and painted black.
The dedication for the First World War is found on the front face of the plinth and reads: "IN LOVING MEMORY OF THE MEN/ OF THIS PARISH WHO LAID DOWN/ THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 TO 1918 / (17 NAMES)." Below this, on the top step, is another inscription that states: "GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT/ A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS."
