Description
This war memorial, dedicated to the First World War, is located at a road junction on the edge of the village of Selmeston. It is made of granite and features a square cut, roughly hewn cross with a tall shaft and short arms. The memorial stands on a stone plinth that is shaped to resemble natural rock, with the front face being smooth and inscribed. The inscription reads, "To the memory of the men of Selmeston and Alciston who fell in the Great War 1914 -1918," followed by the names of fifteen individuals. The memorial is positioned in sight of two listed buildings, emphasizing its significance in the local context.
