East Barnet War Memorial

The East Barnet War Memorial is located at the junction of Church Hill Road and East Barnet Road in East Barnet. It features a tall Celtic cross made of Cornish granite, which rises from a tapering square plinth that has a four-stepped base.

The front and rear faces of the cross and shaft are adorned with Celtic-style knot-work carvings. The plinth has inscriptions made of lead, which are pinned to the granite and painted black. The inscriptions read as follows: on the front face, "IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF / THIS VILLAGE WHO LAID DOWN / THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918 / (NAMES)"; on the right face, "1939 - 1945"; on the rear face, which includes an additional granite plaque, "THEY SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES FOR / OUR FREEDOM IN WWII 1939 - 1945 / (NAMES) / AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN / AND IN THE MORNING WE WILL REMEMBER THEM."; and on the left face, "1914 - 1918." In front of the plinth is a small box section for candles, inscribed with "LEST WE / FORGET."
