Description
A First World War memorial, built 1921; altered after the Second World War.
MATERIALS: Ham Hill limestone.
DESCRIPTION: the memorial takes the form of a Cross of Sacrifice, with a relief-carved inverted sword superimposed on the arms and shaft of a Latin Cross of octagonal section. The moulded foot stands on a simple squared plinth, which stands on a two-stepped platform, the lowers step of which has a moulded tread. The principal face of the plinth is inscribed: TO THE GLORY OF GOD / AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF PIDDLEHINTON / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1918. The upper step of the platform carries the inscription: FOR KING AND COUNTRY. The other faces of the plinth are inscribed with the names of the 17 men who lost their lives in the First World War, and, under the dates 1939 – 1945, those of the four men of the village who fell in that conflict.
