Description
The Fulbrook War Memorial, made of Taynton limestone, features a small, blind, wheel-head cross atop a lantern, which is set on a tall, tapering, square shaft. This shaft stands on a four-stage plinth with a two-stepped base.
On the front face of the plinth, there is an inscription that reads: "THESE ARE THE MEN FROM FULBROOK WHO DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE 1914 – 1918 FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH," along with the names of those who fell in the First World War carved into the two flanking faces. The rear of the plinth has an inscription reading "1939 – 1945," with the names of those who fell in the Second World War listed below, followed by the words "THEY SHALL GROW NOT OLD." All inscriptions are incised.
The memorial is situated in a square sunken enclosure with one step on the northern side. Originally, this area was defined by a low limestone perimeter wall with rough-hewn coping stones. It is now surrounded by dark stone paving and a low wall with flat limestone coping, which has 13 metal posts carrying a chain. A paved area encircles the memorial, featuring a wooden bench to the south, metal bollards at three corners, and a tree at the fourth (south-east) corner. The modern posts and chain, bench, and bollards are not of special interest.
