Description
The Upper Froyle War Memorial is a war memorial built in 1921 from Doulting stone. It features a tall tapering cross with an octagonal shaft and a moulded base. On the south-east face, there is a low-relief carving of a Crusader's sword. The shaft stands on an octagonal pedestal plinth with a stepped base, which has an inscription that reads, "In grateful memory of the men of Froyle who fell in the Great War 1914-1918 their name liveth for evermore," along with the names of thirty men. Additionally, there is another inscription that commemorates seven men who died in World War II. The memorial was dedicated and unveiled in April 1921 by the Bishop of Guildford and the vicar of Froyle, the Reverend William Annesley. This memorial holds significant historical and cultural value both locally and nationally, representing a poignant tribute to those who served.
