Description
The Church Crookham War Memorial is located at the junction of Gables Road and Gally Hill Road. This tall memorial is made of Portland stone and takes the shape of a wheel-head cross. The edges of the cross head and shaft, as well as the faces of the wheel-head, feature a carved running rope ornament. The front face of the cross displays a Sword of Sacrifice carved in relief. The cross shaft is supported by a low, three-stepped base, and the entire memorial is elevated on a circular paved mound.
At the foot of the cross shaft, the dates 1914 and 1918 are carved. The main dedicatory inscription starts on the front face of the upper step of the base, reading "TO THE GLORY OF GOD," and continues below on the next step with "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR KING &/ COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR THEIR NAMES ARE INSCRIBED IN THE CHURCH &/ IN GRATITUDE FOR THE LIVES OF THOSE/ WHO WERE SPARED."
A later dedication is noted on a small tablet beneath this, stating "AND IN MEMORY OF OUR WAR DEAD/ 1939 – 1945/ AND OTHER CONFLICTS PAST AND PRESENT."
