Description
The Ockham War Memorial is made of Portland stone and features a Celtic-style wheel-head cross on a tapering shaft, which stands atop an octagonal plinth. This is placed on a two-stepped base.
The plinth has inscriptions carved into recessed panels. On the west face, it reads: "REMEMBER ALWAYS / THE MEN OF OCKHAM / WHOSE NAMES / ARE WRITTEN HERE / FOR THEY LAID DOWN / THEIR LIVES / FOR THEIR COUNTRY / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918 / FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH / (NAMES)."
The east face states: "PLACED HERE / BY THE INHABITANTS / IN PROUD AND LOVING MEMORY / OF THE DEPARTED / AND IN THANKFULNESS FOR / THE RETURN OF MANY OTHERS / WHO WENT FROM THIS VILLAGE / 1939-45 / (NAMES)."
