Description
Hinton Martell War Memorial is a memorial dedicated to those who fought in the First World War, with a later addition for the Second World War. It is situated on the edge of the churchyard, south of the Grade II-listed Church of St John the Evangelist, near the main road through the village.
Constructed from Chilmark stone, the memorial features a lantern cross design with a niche on the westward face that holds a carved image of the Virgin Mary cradling the body of Jesus. The lantern is topped with a gabled roof and has a relief carving at the apex above the arched niche. The memorial has a wide octagonal shaft adorned with alternating fleur-de-lys and circular flowers carved in relief on every other face. This shaft rises from a square plinth with a chamfered top that sits on a splayed base.
The inscription for the First World War is located on the west face of the plinth, reading "THE GALLANT DEAD / A 1914 – 1918 D / R I P." The names of the fallen are inscribed on the other three faces of the plinth. Additionally, the Second World War dedication, "1939 – 1945 / (NAME)," is found beneath the First World War inscription on the west face of the base. All lettering is incised.
The memorial is set on a small, square area of paving.
