Hook War Memorial

Hook War Memorial is located in the churchyard of the Church of St Paul, Hook.

The upper section of the memorial is a pediment, bearing a Latin cross in front of a crossed sword and anchor with rope motif in the tympanum, which also contains wreaths and leaves. The frieze below reads 1914 / TO OUR GLORIOUS DEAD / 1918. Under this is a rectangular stone tablet bearing the names of the fallen in two columns; below the names is the inscription "WHO STANDS IF FREEDOM FALL?" / "WHO DIES IF ENGLAND LIVE?". The tablet is flanked on either side with a Corinthian column. The tablet and columns stand on a two-stage single-stepped base. The front face of the upper stage of the base bears the inscription THIS MONUMENT WAS ERECTED BY THE / PARISHIONERS OF HOOK AND SOUTHBOROUGH / IN MEMORY OF THE MEN / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR US. The whole stands on a single step of a contrasting material.
