Description
The Doynton War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected around 1921, and is made from carved limestone. It is located in the churchyard of the Grade II* church of the Holy Trinity. The memorial features a two-stepped base supporting a tall, classically-styled plinth, which has moulded recessed panels on each of its four sides and is topped with a stone pyramidal cap. The front (south) face of the plinth displays a plaque inscribed with the words: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-18 (NAMES and RANK) FOR KING AND COUNTRY." The right (east) side is inscribed: "IN REMEMBRANCE OF THOSE WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN THE WORLD WAR 1939-1945 (NAMES and RANK) FOR KING AND COUNTRY." At the top of the plinth is a simply-carved Latin cross.
