Wolverton War Memorial Cross

The Wolverton War Memorial Cross is located in The Square, on the original site designated for the war memorial. This memorial features a slender column made of polished pink granite, which is square in shape. The upper half of the column is cut back to reveal four narrow Latin crosses that form a Greek cross in plan. The interior faces of these crosses are textured with vertical ribbing, while the exterior faces, which align with the lower half of the column, are smooth.

Engraved on each side of the column are gilded insignia representing the Armed Services: the Royal Navy on the north side, the Army on the east, the Royal Marines on the south, and the RAF on the west. Below each insignia, the dates 1914 and 1918 are also gilded and are incised above columns listing the names of those commemorated. Shallow horizontal fillets separate each name. Beneath the First World War lists, the dates 1939 and 1945 are inscribed above columns of names commemorating those from the Second World War. The south face includes a section titled OLD WOLVERTON, listing nine names, along with two additional names from the First World War. In total, the memorial commemorates 125 servicemen from the First World War and 25 from the Second World War, with all names painted in black.

The lower part of the column features gilded dedications incised into it, which read FOR YOUR TOMORROW WE GAVE OUR TODAY on the north face and LEST WE FORGET on the south face. The column is set upon an octagonal granite step, which is positioned on a wider stone base that is flush with the pavement.
