Wilcot War Memorial and railings

The Wilcot War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes later additions for the Second World War. It is prominently located in the center of the village, at the north-west corner of the village green, which is surrounded by several Grade II listed buildings, including nine pairs of 19th century estate cottages, other 18th and 19th century houses, the school and school house, a K6 telephone kiosk, and the Golden Swan public house.

The memorial features a pierced equal-armed cross patonce that rises from the moulded collar of a tapering octagonal shaft. This cross shaft is set on a small square plinth and a two-stepped base. The memorial is enclosed within a square area surrounded by iron railings, with a gate located on the north-west side.

The front face of the plinth bears the inscription of the dates 1914 – 1919, while the rear reads "OUR GLORIOUS DEAD." The names of those commemorated from the First World War are listed on the remaining two sides of the plinth, and the names from the Second World War are inscribed on the upper step of the base.
