Description
The Needham Market War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, with later additions. It is made from Cornish granite and is situated in the middle of the cemetery, at the intersection of the main pathways.
The memorial features a 1.5-meter tall monolith of roughly-hewn granite, resting on a squat granite plinth and a limestone base. The western face displays a carved scroll with the main inscription in leaded letters: ‘TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND IN MEMORY OF THE FALLEN / OF THIS PARISH IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1918’, followed by the names of 46 local men who died in the conflict. The plinth is inscribed with the words: ‘THIS MEMORIAL AND LYCH GATE ERECTED BY THE INHABITANTS’. At the foot of the memorial is a small flower vase that reads: ‘AT REST’.
On the rear of the monolith, there is a dressed area of stone inscribed: ‘TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND IN MEMORY OF’, followed by ten names and ‘1939-1945’. The memorial is set on an earth mound and is surrounded by concrete bollards linked by chains.
