Description
The Hinton War Memorial is a war memorial cross built around 1920 by Farmer and Brindley. It is made from Portland stone. The memorial features a Celtic wheel cross with a tapering square shaft, which stands on a plinth with two steps. The front of the cross faces north-east, and both the head and neck of the cross are adorned with intricate relief mouldings of Celtic knots and flower heads.
The plinth bears an incised inscription that reads: ‘THIS CROSS IS ERECTED BY THE INHABITANTS / OF HINTON IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THOSE / CONNECTED WITH THIS VILLAGE WHO SACRIFICED / THEIR LIVES IN DEFENCE OF THEIR KING AND / COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR OF 1914-1919 / THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD AS WE THAT ARE LEFT GROW OLD / AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN / AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING / WE WILL REMEMBER THEM’. Above this inscription, on the shaft, are the names of 15 men who died in the First World War, and below it is the inscription ‘1939-1945’ along with the names of two men who died in the Second World War.
The cross is set on a paved square base and is surrounded by a chain fence, which has four tapering square posts on each side.
