Description
The Coalpit Heath War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected around 1920, with additions for the Second World War. It is made of Portland stone and has a square plan.
The memorial faces south-west and is designed in the shape of a Latin cross. It features a single-step base, a three-step plinth, and a square socket stone with a moulded top. A tall shaft rises from the socket stone, tapering in an octagonal section to a Latin cross-head. The inscription on the south-west face of the socket stone reads, ‘REMEMBER / IN PRAYER AND WITH GRATITUDE / THE MEN WHO FELL IN THE WARS / 1919 – 1914 1939 – 1945 / ESPECIALLY THOSE OF THIS PARISH / GRANT THEM O LORD ETERNAL PEACE’. The names of 16 local men who died in the First World War are inscribed on the north-west and south-east faces of the socket stone, while the names of those who died in the Second World War are recorded on the socket stone and the top step of the plinth on the north-east side of the memorial.
