Description

The North Hill War Memorial is a granite structure dedicated to the memory of those who served in the First and Second World Wars, unveiled in 1919. The memorial features a wheel cross atop a tapering shaft, which is adorned with a raised-stone longsword. It stands on a three-tiered base, surrounded by metal railings to the north.

On the front (north) face of the top tier, there is a dedication in raised black lettering that reads, "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919," along with the names of fourteen individuals who died during the First World War on the middle tier. The bottom tier bears the inscription, "GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS." The west face of the memorial is inscribed with "1939-1945" and lists the names of four men who died during the Second World War.
