Description
Limpley Stoke War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, with additions for the Second World War. It is located in the center of the village on the western side of Middle Stoke Road, opposite 32 Middle Stoke, and near 28, 33, and 36 Middle Stoke, which are all Grade II-listed.
The memorial consists of a rough rectangular stone set upright on its short edge, featuring two brass plaques on its eastern face. The larger plaque has a curved top and is set into a fielded panel on the memorial. It displays a laurel wreath in relief surrounding the words "ROLL OF HONOUR," above a scroll that reads "LIMPLEY STOKE." Below this, the dedication states, "THESE GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR OF 1914–18" followed by nine names, and "THESE GAVE THEIR SERVICE" followed by fifty-four names.
A second rectangular plaque has been added beneath the first, inscribed with "ALSO IN MEMORY OF" followed by a name and the years "1939 – 45."
The memorial is raised from a narrow plinth made of rough-dressed stone in three courses. The entire structure stands on a platform of rubble-coursed stone, which includes a short flight of steps leading from the road to the memorial. At the north-west and south-east corners of the platform, there are short, square pillars constructed in a similar style.
