Description
First World War memorial, 1920, with later addition for the Second World War. Restored mid-C20.
DESCRIPTION: the memorial stands prominently in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary the Virgin (Grade I). It is carved from Clipsham stone. It consists of a Calvary cross flanked by carved mourning figures, most probably of the Virgin Mary and the disciple, John, set upon base spurs on the shaft. This is set upon a two-stepped octagonal plinth and a single-stepped octagonal base. The main dedicatory inscription on the upper part of the plinth reads: THEIR NAME/ LIVETH FOR/ EVERMORE (south-west face), and on the section beneath is inscribed: 1914–1918/ (NAMES) and 1939–1945/ (NAMES)
The side and rear faces of the octagonal plinth are decorated with relief-carved heraldic shields.
