Bromley (St Peter and St Paul's) War Memorial

First World War memorial, 1921.

DESCRIPTION: the war memorial is located in the churchyard of St Peter’s and St Paul’s Church (Grade II*-listed). A high beech hedge surrounds the small war memorial garden.

The memorial is of Portland stone and takes the form of a carved lantern-cross with sculpted depictions of St George, Victory, St Michael and Peace to each of the faces. The lantern crowns a tapering column with a moulded cap and base rising from an octagonal plinth. The whole surmounts a cruciform-shaped base. The inscriptions are carved in relief on three faces of the plinth.

The first face carries the dedication: IN MEMORY OF THE/ MEN FROM THIS/ CHURCH AND PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR/ LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR OF/ 1914 – 1919. The second side reads MAKE THEM TO BE/ NUMBERED WITH/ THY SAINTS IN/ GLORY EVERLASTING. The final face is inscribed: THEIR NAMES ARE/ RECORDED ON A/ TABLET IN THE/ CHURCH.
