Description
The Northwood War Memorial features a cross atop a tall pillar, which rests on a square plinth. Each face of the plinth displays a slate plaque with gold lettering. The front plaque honors the men of Northwood who gave their lives in the Great War from 1914 to 1918 and in the Second World War from 1939 to 1945, stating: "AND IN SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY / THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD, / AS WE THAT ARE LEFT GROW OLD: / AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM, / NOT THE YEARS CONDEMN. / AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN / AND IN THE MORNING / WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM." This quote is attributed to Laurence Binyon. The other three plaques list the names of the Fallen in two columns each. The memorial is supported by a four-step base made of mixed stone and brick.
