Description
The North Waltham War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected in 1927, with later additions for the Second World War. The monument features a large, roughly-hewn Celtic wheel cross made of granite, which is mounted on a roughly hewn granite base.
The Celtic wheel cross has a tapered shaft and includes a carved sword resembling a cross at its head on the southern side. On the southern face of the base, there is an inscription in lead lettering that reads ‘IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1918’, followed by the names of those who died.
Below this inscription, leaning against the front of the plinth, is a separate plaque with lead lettering that states ‘1939-1945’, followed by the names of those who died during the Second World War. To the left of the plaque is a small stone bowl.
