Description
Notton War Memorial is a stone structure located to the south of the chapel building in the cemetery on the east side of Melksham Road. The memorial features a slender Latin cross, which is octagonal in shape, rising from a tapering octagonal shaft. This shaft stands on a two-stage square plinth with an octagonal base.
The main inscription, carved in low relief, encircles the upper stage of the plinth and reads: "THEY SLEEP WITH THE EMPIRE'S BEST AND NOBLEST SONS/ WHO IN THE GLORIOUS MORNING OF THEIR DAY/ FOR ENGLAND'S SAKE LOST ALL BUT ENGLAND'S PRAISE." The names of those commemorated are listed on the front face of the lower stage.
