Description
First World War memorial with later additions for the Second World War.
DESCRIPTION: the memorial stands in a prominent location at a road junction on the village green and it replaced the original memorial of 1920, which comprised an oak cross surrounded by iron railings. The current war memorial takes the form of a stone Latin cross set upon a plinth and a square concrete base. The main dedicatory inscription on the front (west) face of the plinth reads: IN EVER GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF/ THE STANNINGFIELD MEN/ WHO DIED FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918/ (NAMES)/ 1939 -1945/ (NAMES)/ RIP. The left return carries the inscription: OTHER CONFLICTS/ AFGHANISTAN/ (NAME).
The lower section of the plinth is inscribed: THIS MEMORIAL REPLACES THE WOODEN CROSS/ WHICH WAS ERECTED IN 1920 IN HONOUR OF THE/ 1914-1918 MEN OF THIS VILLAGE.
The memorial is enclosed by metal railings.
