Description
The Shortlands War Memorial is a 5-meter high Celtic cross made of Leckhampton stone. It features a chamfered and moulded plinth and stands on a square, concrete-rendered base that displays the names of 63 fallen individuals on three sides.
The arms of the cross have the inscription ‘LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS’ on the front face, while the shaft is marked with the dates ‘MCMXIV’ (1914) and ‘MCMXIX’ (1919). The front face of the base includes the inscription ‘OUR DEAD THROUGH WHOM WE LIVE’. Below this, a metal plaque reads ‘TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND/ IN PROUD MEMORY/ OF THE/ MEN AND WOMEN OF SHORTLANDS/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN TWO WORLD WARS/ 1914-1918 1939-1945/ THEIR NAMES ARE INSCRIBED IN A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE KEPT IN THE PARISH CHURCH’. An additional small metal plaque is inscribed ‘ALSO REMEMBERED/ WITH GRATEFUL APPRECIATION/ THOSE WHO, SINCE THE SECOND WORLD WAR,/ HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES IN CONFLICTS/ AND PEACE KEEPING MISSIONS/ THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.’
