Description
War memorial. Erected in 1921 following the First World War, with a further inscription added after the Second World War. The memorial is situated in the churchyard of the redundant Church of St Mary, north-west of the former church. It is carved from Portland stone and comprises a Celtic cross set on a tapering shaft and trapezoidal plinth, standing approximately 2.5 metres high. The front (west) face of the shaft is inscribed in incised lettering: TO THE/ GLORY OF/ GOD,/ AND IN/ HONOURED/ MEMORY OF/ THE MEN/ OF/ BRAISEWORTH/ WHO GAVE/ THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR/ COUNTRY/ IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918/ AND THE WAR/ 1939-1945. On the front face of the plinth are five names below which is the inscription in incised lettering: GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS.
