Stockbridge War Memorial

The Stockbridge War Memorial is located to the east of Stockbridge on the A3057, near its junction with the A30. It features a War Cross made of Portland stone, with a lozenge-sectioned cross shaft set on a slightly splayed rectangular plinth. This plinth is supported by a lower, coved plinth that flares outwards to create a seat around the base of the memorial. The memorial is raised on a base of three broad, square, shallow steps, with the upper two steps being square and the lowest step circular.

On the east face of the plinth, there is an inscription that reads: OUR DEAD/ THROUGH WHOM/ WE LIVE/ MCMXIV- MCMXIX. The names of those who died in the First World War are inscribed on both sides of the plinth. Originally, these inscriptions were unpainted, but black paint was applied in 2005 to improve visibility. In 2008, a new inscription was added to the west face: WE WILL REMEMBER THEM/ MCMXXXIX – MCMXXXXV, along with the names of those who fell in the Second World War, replacing the original inscription: THANKS BE TO GOD/ WHO GIVETH US/ THE VICTORY.
