Description
The Stratford-sub-Castle War Memorial is a limestone structure approximately 5 meters high, located by the roadside to the immediate west of the Grade I-listed Church of St Lawrence. The memorial features an octagonal tapering shaft with a carved collar and a gabled crucifix that includes the dedication "INRI." It stands on a square plinth with a two-stepped base. The western face of the plinth displays an inscription in incised white painted letters that reads "1914 – 1918/ GOD MAKE US WORTHY OF THEIR SACRIFICE."
Additionally, a stone was inserted in 2014 beneath the inscription, which lists the names of those from the village who were killed, along with the inscription "1914 - WE WILL REMEMBER THEM - 2014/ (NAMES)."
