Thrandeston War Memorial

Thrandeston War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. It is made of Cornish granite and is located prominently beside the entrance to the churchyard of the Church of St Margaret of Antioch, which is a Grade I listed building.

The memorial features a plain wheel-head cross on a tapering rough-hewn plinth and a single-stepped base. On the south face of the cross, there is a relief-carved Sword of Sacrifice. The memorial is approximately 2.7 meters high and is carved from grey Cornish granite. A small rectangular granite plaque has been added to the south face of the plinth, bearing the name of one parishioner who died during the Second World War.

The main inscription in leaded lettering on the south face of the plinth reads: "1914 – 1918 TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF (13 NAMES)." An additional inscription in leaded lettering on the small rectangular granite plaque attached to the south face of the plinth reads: "1939 – 1945 TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF (1 NAME)."
