Chicheley War Memorial

Chicheley War Memorial stands on the verge to the east side of the junction of Hall Lane and Newport Road, c36m to the south of Home Farmhouse (Grade II). The memorial is framed by a curved hedge to the rear and posts carrying a chain to the front. The c4m tall stone memorial comprises a Latin cross rising from a moulded collar at the top of an octagonal shaft. The moulded foot of the cross shaft stands on a three tiered octagonal base that, in turn, stands on a low two-stepped octagonal plinth.

The principal dedicatory inscription incised around the upper tier of the base reads IN GRATEFUL/ AND PROUD/ MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF/ CHICHELEY/ WHO GAVE THEIR/ LIVES IN THE/ WAR 1914-1919. The names of the fallen are carved in the faces of the middle tier, one name to each face, recorded with the year in which they died.
