Description
The Holy Trinity War Memorial is a war memorial built in 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. It is made of Portland stone and is located within the churchyard of Holy Trinity, Bromley Common. The memorial features a central pier topped with a tall slender pillar and cross, with four panels arranged in a crescent shape.
The inscription for the First World War has been updated to include the names of those who died in the Second World War. Two panels list the 28 local men who died in the First World War, recorded by year of death. The outer panels, or wings, commemorate the 18 members of the Armed Forces who died in the Second World War, as well as 15 local civilians killed during the war.
The inscription reads:
"Their name liveth for evermore they died as few men get the chance to die fighting to save a Worlds morality, they died the noblest death a man may die, fighting for god and right and liberty and such a death is immortality."
“This monument is erected to the Glory of God in honour of all who went from this Parish to serve in the Great War and in grateful and undying memory of those who laid down their lives for their Country by sea and by land."
“1939-1945, Commemorated on the side panels are the names of men of the three services who gave their lives, and also of civilians of this Parish, who were killed by enemy action in the Second World War."
