Description

The Kingston Hill War Memorial is a Portland stone cross raised on a tall shaft, dating from the period after the World Wars. The base of the shaft is decorated with carvings of shields representing the Home Nations, and it widens outward onto a plinth with buttresses at each corner. The front face of the plinth features a partially eroded inscription reading, “May the Peace of God / rest upon the Men / & Women of this Parish and Church / who gave their lives / for their country / AD 1914 - 1918 / 1939 - 1945 / They counted not their / lives dear unto themselves.” The other three faces of the memorial list the names of those who died in conflict. Each buttress of the plinth is carved with regimental symbols and insignia. The plinth stands upon an octagonal platform, which is used to hold flower pots dedicated to individual soldiers who perished during the Second World War.
