Description
The Binstead War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected in 1920, with additional inscriptions added after the Second World War. It is made of carved limestone and is located at the corner of Church Road and Binstead Hill.
The memorial features a tall, elongated Latin stone cross with a tapering octagonal shaft and crossarm. A longsword is carved in raised relief on the cross, with the crossguard of the sword aligning with the junction of the cross’s shaft and crossarm. The shaft is set on an octagonal plinth, which rests on a three-stepped octagonal base.
On the front of the plinth, the inscription reads: "IN MEMORY OF THOSE OF BINSTEAD WHO MADE THE GREAT SACRIFICE 1914-1919 'THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE'." The rear face of the plinth states: "IN UNDYING MEMORY OF THOSE WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-1945." The other sides of the memorial list the names of those who lost their lives in these conflicts.
