Hilperton War Memorial

The Hilperton War Memorial, located on Church Street in the village of Hilperton, west Wiltshire, is made of Bath stone. It is situated near the scheduled and listed lock-up, approximately 40 meters northeast of Church Farm, and close to other Grade II-listed structures.

The memorial features a tall Latin cross with a reversed sword carved in low relief on the front face. The shaft is tapering and octagonal, with a moulded foot, and it stands on an octagonal plinth with a two-stepped base. The dedication on the front face of the plinth reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS VILLAGE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918." The names of those who fell in both world wars are also carved on the plinth.

The cross is set back from the pavement within a paved semi-circular area. At the rear, there is a curving wall made of coursed stone with a moulded coping, while the front features metal posts supporting a spiked chain. The rear wall includes low benched seating, with planters inscribed with the dates of the world wars, and the central planter bears the inscription "LEST WE FORGET."
