Littlebredy War Memorial

The Littlebredy War Memorial is a First World War memorial erected around 1920. It is made of Portland stone ashlar and is located in the churchyard of St Michael and All Angel’s Church, near the center of Littlebredy. The memorial faces south and is situated to the north of the Grade II* listed medieval church, east of the Grade II listed Old Parsonage, and south of the Grade II listed School House, all within the Grade II registered early 19th century park of Bridehead.

The memorial features a fluted, foliated cross that rises from the foliage capital of a approximately 3.5-meter high tapering, fluted, octagonal shaft with a moulded base. At the front of the cross, there is a statue of Jesus Christ depicted as the Good Shepherd, carrying a lamb on his shoulders, which is supported by a corbel. The shaft is set upon an octagonal plinth and base, which together stand 0.6 meters high. The front of the plinth bears the inscription: "I WILL SEEK/ OUT MY SHEEP/ AND DELIVER THEM/ OUT OF ALL PLACES/ WHERE THEY/ HAVE BEEN SCATTERED/ TO THE GLORY/ OF GOD IN/ EVERLASTING/ MEMORY AND/ PRAISE OF THOSE/ WHO GAVE THEIR/ LIVES FOR US IN/ THE GREAT WAR." The other sides of the plinth are inscribed with seven names, detailing each individual's full name, rank, regiment, parent’s names, date and place of birth, date and place of death, and place of burial.
