Description
The War Memorial at Stowupland, Suffolk, is a First World War memorial dating to around 1920, with alterations made after the Second World War. It is constructed from granite and features a 4-meter high Celtic cross with an elongated shaft, which stands on a tapered four-sided plinth. The cross has raised edges and a central round boss. The plinth is supported by a square base that has a bevelled top edge, which in turn rests on two rough-hewn square steps.
The main inscription on the north-west face of the plinth reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY 1914-1918." The names of 37 parishioners who fell during the First World War are listed on the other three faces of the plinth. On the bevelled top edge of the base, there is an additional inscription that states "1939 – 1945." Below this, on the main face of the base, are the names of 10 individuals who fell in the Second World War. Additionally, a rectangular stone vase located on the bottom step bears the inscription: "IN MEMORIAM."
