Description
First World War memorial, 1921.
DESCRIPTION: Great Barton memorial stands in the churchyard adjacent to the main entrance gate, to the north-east of the Church of the Holy Innocents (Grade I-listed).
It is of Portland stone and takes the form of a Greek cross atop a tapering octagonal shaft with moulded foot. The shaft rises from a small octagonal pedestal atop a wide octagonal plinth. The plinth has a flat, stone cap with moulded cornice beneath and stands on a moulded foot. The whole surmounts a two-stepped, square base. All lettering is incised.
The main inscription is to the north-east face of the plinth and reads ERECTED/ TO THE MEN OF/ THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR/ LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918. The names of 22 parishioners who died in the First World War are recorded on the remaining faces of the plinth; the 23rd name is inscribed to the north-west face of the plinth foot.
