Westhorpe War Memorial

The Westhorpe War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. It is made of Doulting stone and is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Margaret, which is a Grade I listed building, just outside the main southern entrance of the church.

The memorial features a tall, slender stone Latin calvary cross with a stone roof, to which a bronze figurine of Christ crucified is attached. This bronze figure was created by the Art and Book Company in London. The cross is set on a tall square plinth, which rests on a small square stone step and a larger octagonal stone base. The entire memorial stands approximately 3.3 meters high.

The main inscription is located on the lower end of the cross shaft and reads: "IN/ LOVING AND/ GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF/", with the names of the fallen listed on the front face of the plinth. Additionally, on the front face of the octagonal base, there is an inset stone with the inscription: "REST ETERNAL GRANT TO THEM O LORD/ AND LET LIGHT PERPETUAL SHINE UPON THEM." The northern face of the plinth also includes an additional inscription: "1939 –1945/ (2 NAMES)."
