Haggerston All Saints War Memorial

Haggerston All Saints War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected around 1920, located in the churchyard of All Saints on Haggerston Road in Hackney. It faces west and is positioned next to the porch at the west gable-end of the church, north of a short path that leads southwest to Haggerston Road and the nearby Stonebridge Common.

The memorial is made of stone and features a stepped square plinth and base topped with a Latin cross. The plinth consists of five stages and sits on a square-plan single-stone step that serves as the base. Each stage of the plinth has an instep with a chamfered ledge, while the fourth stage includes a moulded skirting and cornice. The fifth stage, the uppermost, has a moulded cornice and battered sides, with the other stages being smooth-dressed single stones.

The inscription, made of applied lead lettering, is located on the west side of the memorial and spans the second and third stages of the plinth. It reads: "TO THE GREATER GLORY OF GOD / AND IN PROUD / AND THANKFUL MEMORY OF / THE MEN OF / THIS CHURCH AND PARISH / WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN / THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919."

A tapering octagonal shaft rises from the plinth to a two-stage moulded collar directly beneath the cross head, which is designed as a Latin cross. The vertical arm of the cross head is also tapering but square in plan, featuring a low raised cross detail on both the west and east sides. The cross is adorned with heavy projecting nailhead finials at the top and at both ends of the crossbar.
