Description
The Homerton War Memorial is located in the grounds of the Church of St Barnabas, facing Homerton High Street. It features a wheel-head cross that rises from a tapering shaft, which is set on a tapering plinth. The front face of the cross and the upper half of the shaft are intricately decorated with Celtic knot-work carvings. The memorial is positioned on a stone step, which is integrated into a square-shaped flower bed area surrounded by short stone walls and pillars.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads: "TO THE LASTING GLORY / AND REMEMBRANCE / OF THE HEROES BELONGING / TO THIS CHURCH & PARISH / WHO GAVE UP THEIR LIVES / IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918 / ERECTED BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION."
