Description
The Alresford War Memorial is a memorial dedicated to those who served in the First and Second World Wars, erected around 1920 with an additional inscription added after the Second World War. It is made of rough-hewn granite and is located in the churchyard of St John the Baptist Church, near the west entrance and tower of the church, which is a Grade II*-listed building with medieval origins but has undergone significant remodeling.
The memorial features a Celtic cross with a tapering shaft, set on a trapezoidal plinth and rectangular base, standing approximately 4 meters high. A longsword is intricately carved in raised relief on the cross, with the crossguard of the sword aligning with the junction of the cross shaft and crossarm. The front of the plinth has a flat recess that displays the inscription: "ERECTED TO THE MEMORY/ OF/ THOSE OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE WARS/ 1914-1918/ 1939-1945." Notably, there are no names listed on the memorial.
