Description
Langford War Memorial is a plain stone Latin cross, with an octagonal shaft and arms, set upon an octagonal plinth that features inscriptions on multiple faces.
The north face honors the memory of the men from the parish who died for their country in the Great War from 1914 to 1918. The west face expresses thanksgiving for the lives spared and for victory over the enemy. The south face bears the quote, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." One additional side lists the names of the fallen.
A dedication to those from the parish who fell in the Second World War has been added to the north-west face, stating, "Also in honoured memory of those of this parish who fell in the World War 1939 – 1945" followed by names.
The plinth is supported by a three-stepped base, with the north face of the middle step inscribed with "Erected by the parishioners 1920."
