Description
The West Grinstead, Dial Post, Littleworth and Partridge Green War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled in 1920, with additional inscriptions commemorating the Second World War. The memorial was reduced in height following storm damage in 1987.
It is made of granite and features a Latin cross on a large tapering pedestal constructed from coursed blocks, topped with a stepped cap. On the front (east) face of the pedestal, there is a stone plaque inscribed with the following text: "THIS CROSS/ WAS PLACED HERE/ BY/ COMRADES OF THE GREAT WAR/ WEST GRINSTEAD BRANCH/ IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF/ FIFTY-FOUR FIGHTING MEN/ FROM / WEST GRINSTEAD/ DIAL POST/ LITTLEWORTH/ PARTRIDGE GREEN/ WHO DIED FOR ENGLAND, 1914 - 1918/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE."
The names of the fallen are listed on the north and south faces of the pedestal, while the west face bears the inscription "1939-1945/ (NAMES)/ LORD GOD OF HOSTS, BE WITH US YET,/ LEST WE FORGET - LEST WE FORGET."
