Description
The Otterbourne War Memorial is a First World War memorial erected in 1920, designed by Henry LG Hall of Winchester. Made of Portland stone, it is located outside the boundary of the Church of St Matthew, on a green area to the south-east. The memorial features a Latin cross raised on a plinth with decorative scroll brackets. Its square stepped base includes corner piers topped with orb finials and has bench seating on each side.
The plinth displays applied-metal inscriptions, with the south-eastern face stating, ‘IN MEMORIAM 1914-1918/ ERECTED AS AN EXPRESSION OF/ PROFOUND THANKFULNESS TO ALMIGHTY GOD/ FOR A WONDERFUL DELIVERANCE IN THE GREAT WAR,/ AS A TRIBUTE TO THE MEN FROM/ OTTERBOURNE AND ALLBROOK WHO SERVED/ AND IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THOSE WHO FELL/ WHOSE NAMES ARE INSCRIBED HEREON/ (names)’. The other three sides list additional names, totaling 40, under the inscription ‘FOR KING AND COUNTRY’. The names of seven individuals who died in the Second World War are recorded on a stone tablet set against the step of the plinth, which has the years ‘1939’ and ‘1945’ inscribed on its ends between simple carved scrolls, but no further inscription.
