Description
The Wootton and District War Memorial is made of Portland stone and features a wheel-head cross atop a rectangular gabled plinth with a two-stepped base. Inscriptions are incised into the plinth and the top step.
The front face of the gabled plinth displays the inscription: "THESE MEN OF WOOTTON AND DISTRICT GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR KING AND COUNTRY. 1914 - 1918 (NAMES)." Just below this, on the top step, is the inscription: "SEE TO IT YE WHO COME AFTER THAT THEIR NAMES BE NOT FORGOTTEN."
On the rear face of the plinth, there is an additional dedication to those who fell in the Second World War, which reads: "AND OF THOSE WHO FELL IN 1939 - 1945 (NAMES)." Below this, on the top step, is inscribed: "NORTHERN IRELAND (NAME)."
