Description
The Bedingfield War Memorial is a Portland stone structure, approximately 3.3 meters tall, located prominently at the intersection of two paths in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary, which is a Grade I listed building. The memorial features a Celtic cross adorned with carved interlace patterns on the wheel-head. The cross head rises from a tapering cross shaft, which is set on a tapering plinth and a single-stepped base.
The main inscription is in incised and painted lettering on an inset panel on the front face of the cross shaft, reading: IN/ PROUD/ AND/ LOVING/ MEMORY/ OF/ THE/ MEN/ FROM/ THIS/ VILLAGE/ WHO/ GAVE/ THEIR/ LIVES/ IN/ THE/ GREAT/ WAR/ 1914–1918. Fourteen names are inscribed on the front face of the plinth, with the phrase GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS located below on the base.
