Wickwar War Memorial

This war memorial of 1924 was designed by Norman Jewson and is built of local limestone. It takes the form of a wheel cross with a column, base and platform. The wheel element of the cross takes an octagonal form and the tapering hexagonal column terminates at the hexagonal base. The base has a moulded edge to the top. An inscription is carved around the upper part of the six fields of the base and reads thus; IN·MEMORY·OF/THE·MEN·OF/WICKWAR/WHO·FELL·IN/THE·GREAT/WAR·1914·1918. The field below the last section of text is inscribed; AND·IN·THE/WORLD·WAR/1939-1945. The remaining fields are blank. A moulded plinth is below the base. A hexagonal platform of two steps surrounded by a paved apron completes the structure. The memorial is situated in the churchyard of the Church of the Holy Trinity (listed at Grade II*).
