Description
The Kidlington and Hamlets War Memorial is a limestone structure featuring a wheel-head cross adorned with Celtic-style knot work carved in shallow relief, which sits atop a tapering shaft. This shaft is mounted on a square tapering plinth that bears dedications in lead lettering on the south face. The inscription reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE IMMORTAL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF KIDLINGTON AND ITS HAMLETS WHO NOBLY FOUGHT AND FELL IN THE GREAT WARS 1914 – 18 and 1939 – 45." Below this, the words "LEST WE FORGET" are carved in relief.
The east and west sides of the plinth list 40 names, while the northern side includes 21 names from the Second World War, one name from the Malayan crisis, and one from the Falklands War. The plinth is set on a three-stepped square base.
