Description
The Kington Langley War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled in 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. It features a granite wheel-head cross and a tapering, rectangular-set shaft, which stands on a two-part ashlar plinth. The upper plinth has inscriptions on all four faces, stating: "To the glory of God / and in memory of / those fallen in the WAR / A.D. 1914 TO 1918." The lower plinth lists the names of the Fallen on the west and east faces, while the south face is inscribed with "A.D. 1939-1945 / (NAMES)." The memorial is set on a square base that has the inscriptions: “The LORD hath wrought great glory by them” on the east face and “Their name liveth for evermore” on the west face. It is enclosed by a stone kerb.
