Description
Cowlinge War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, located at the junction of Queen Street and Tillbrooks Hill, surrounded by metal railings.
The memorial is made of rough-hewn grey granite and features a wheel-head cross with raised bosses on each arm and at the center of the east face. It has a tall, four-sided shaft that rises from a tapering square plinth, which sits atop a two-stepped square base. The upper step is rough-hewn, while the lower step is made of dressed stone.
The main inscription, in leaded lettering, is on a smooth, inset panel on the east face of the plinth. It reads: "THIS MONUMENT/ WAS ERECTED BY THE/ PARISHIONERS OF COWLINGE/ TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914–1919/ AND ALSO IN GRATEFUL RECOGNITION/ OF THE PATRIOTISM OF THE 66 LOCAL MEN/ WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTRY/ IN HER HOUR OF NEED."
The names of the 30 men who died are inscribed on smooth, inset panels on the north and south faces of the plinth, also in leaded lettering.
