Plumpton Green War Memorial

The Plumpton Green War Memorial is a stone structure built in 1920, located within the churchyard of All Saints Church in Plumpton Green. Made of grey granite, the memorial is positioned outside the southern entrance of the church. It features an octagonal base that rests on two octagonal steps. Rising from a collar on the base is an octagonal shaft that culminates in a cross, which also has an octagonal shape. The front face of the cross is adorned with a sword of sacrifice carved in relief. The names of 28 individuals who fell in the First World War and two from the Second World War are inscribed in metal letters attached to the stone base. Additionally, the steps bear metal letters displaying the motto: "SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE OF THIS PARISH WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919 GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIEND."
