Description
The Wetheringsett War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, with later additions for the Second World War. It is made of Cornish granite and is prominently located at the center of the village, at the junction of Hockey Hill and Station Road.
The memorial features a substantial square granite pillar that rests on a two-tiered pedestal and a two-stepped base. At the top of the pillar is an elaborately carved cap stone, which has a relief-carved laurel wreath on its east face. The memorial stands approximately 3 meters high.
On the east face, the main inscription reads: "SACRED TO THE MEMORY/ OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914–1918/ (21 NAMES)/ “THEY WERE A WALL UNTO US BOTH/ BY NIGHT AND DAY” (1 SAMUEL 25.16)/ 1939–1946/ (6 NAMES)/ THIS MEMORIAL IS ERECTED/ IN APPRECIATION BY PARISHIONERS/ WHO MOURN THEIR LOSS."
