Withersfield War Memorial

The Withersfield War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled and dedicated in 1921, with an addition for the Second World War. It is made of Portland stone and has a square plan.

The memorial is located on Town Green and faces south-east. It features a three-step base, a square plinth, and an obelisk topped with a Latin cross. The south-east face of the obelisk bears the First World War dedication, which reads 'IN MEMORY OF / THE GLORIOUS / SACRIFICE / OF THE MEN OF / WITHERSFIELD / WHO FELL IN / THE GREAT WAR / 1914 - 1919'. The names of the men who died are inscribed on the south-east, north-east, and south-west faces of the plinth. The top step of the base is inscribed with 'LET THOSE THAT COME AFTER / SEE THEIR NAMES BE NOT FORGOTTEN', while the second step is inscribed with '1939 - 1945' and includes a single name below.

The gravel enclosure surrounding the memorial, along with the concrete kerb stones, are not included in the listing.
