Description
The Boughton Aluph and Eastwell War Memorial is a First World War memorial erected in 1921, designed by H Worger, a builder from Boughton Aluph, with later additions for the Second World War.
It is made of rough hewn granite with lead lettering and is enclosed by an iron railing. The memorial features a Latin cross that stands 13 feet 3 inches high and 5 feet 6 inches wide, positioned on three square steps within a square railed enclosure.
On the lower part of the front face of the cross shaft, there is a polished panel with an inscription in lead lettering that reads:
IN/ THE MEMORY OF/ THE MEN/ FROM THIS/ PARISH/ WHO DIED IN/ THE SERVICE/ OF THEIR/ COUNTRY/DURING THE/ GREAT WARS (1914-1919) 1939-1945.
The names of 28 men who died in the First World War and four who died in the Second World War are inscribed in two columns on the three steps.
The memorial is set within a planted square enclosure that features thin cast iron spear railings and wider principal rails with ball finials, including a gate opposite the front face of the cross.
