Description
MATERIALS: Ham Hill stone.
DESCRIPTION: Spetisbury War Memorial is located within the churchyard of the Church of St John the Baptist. It consists of a Latin cross rising from an octagonal tapering shaft. The shaft is set upon an octagonal plinth on top of a three-stepped base.
The inscriptions were originally incised into the stone. At a later date these have been replaced with incised plaques fixed to two faces with 1914 – 1918/ (NAMES) incised on them. The main dedication remains incised into the stone and reads TO THE GLORY/ OF GOD AND THE/ PROUD MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF/ HIS VILLAGE/ WHO DIED IN THE/ CAUSE OF LIBERTY/ 1914 – 1919. The other faces still faintly show the names as originally inscribed. Across the bottom step is an inclined stone tablet inscribed with 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES).
