Description

Littlewick Green War Memorial is a war memorial built in 1920 by S Slingsby Stallwood, a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. The memorial is designed in the form of a calvary and is located in the angle between the chancel and north transept of the church of St John the Evangelist, facing north.

The structure features a figure of the crucified Christ, carved from oak, mounted on a teak cross that is topped with a timber canopy covered in shingles. It is set on a base of three steps made of York stone, which rests on a rough-hewn rusticated stone plinth.

The upper stage of the memorial bears the inscription 'TO THE GLORY OF GOD/AND IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF LITTLEWICK GREEN /WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914-1919', with the names of the fallen listed below, along with the phrase 'Requiescant in Pace'. The lower stage includes the inscription 'Ye that live on 'mid English pastures green/Remember us, and think what might have been.'

Additionally, a later inscription on the west face honors by name those from Littlewick Green who lost their lives during the Second World War, from 1939 to 1945.
