All Cannings and Allington War Memorial Cross

The All Cannings and Allington War Memorial Cross is located in the northern corner of the churchyard of the Church of All Saints, which is a Grade II* listed building. It is situated near the main road through the village and the main entrance to the churchyard, close to several other Grade II-listed buildings and churchyard monuments.

The memorial features a stone wheel-head cross that rises from a large tapering plinth and a single-stepped base. The face of the cross is adorned with an equal-armed cross bottonée, carved in low relief. It is set in a gravelled area, bordered by a low stone kerb with small pillars at each corner.

On the front of the cross shaft, there is an inscription in raised lettering that reads: TO/ THE/ FALLEN/ 1914/ 1918/ THEIR NAME/ LIVETH FOR/ EVERMORE, with a small Maltese cross carved below it.

The front face of the plinth also has a principal dedicatory inscription in raised lettering, which states: TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN/ GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN/ OF ALL CANNINGS AND ALLINGTON/ WHO DIED IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR/ KING AND COUNTRY DURING THE/ GREAT WAR/ (NAMES).
