Kington Langley War Memorial

First World War memorial, unveiled in 1920, with later additions for the Second World War.

The memorial takes the form of a granite wheel-head cross and tapering, rectangular-set shaft which stands on an ashlar plinth of two parts. The four faces of the upper plinth are inscribed: To the glory of God / and in memory of / those fallen in the WAR / A.D. 1914 TO 1918. The lower plinth records the names of the Fallen on the W and E faces; the S face is inscribed: A.D. 1939-1945 / (NAMES). The memorial is set on a square base that carries the inscriptions: “The LORD hath wrought great glory by them” and “Their name liveth for evermore” to its E and W faces respectively. It is enclosed by a stone kerb.
