Froxfield War Memorial

First World War memorial with Second World War additions.

DESCRIPTION: The memorial stands near the entrance to the churchyard of the Church of All Saints (Grade II*-listed); the churchyard also contains the Tomkins and Newbery monuments (both Grade II-listed).

The memorial is of granite and takes the form of a tall, wheel-head cross rising from a tapering, rectangular plinth. This surmounts a two-stepped, rectangular base. The names and inscriptions are all in leaded lettering.

Towards the base of the east face of the cross shaft is the inscription,TO OUR/ GLORIOUS/ DEAD. The names of those who died in the First World War are recorded on the east and west faces of the plinth; seven names to each face, including their rank and regiment, with the dates 1914 – 1918 underneath. On the south face of the plinth is the inscription IN/ THANKFULNESS/ FOR THE/ SAFE RETURN/ OF ALL/ SURVIVORS/ "LAUS DEO!".

On the north face of the plinth is the Second World War dedication, in the same format as the First World War names (5 NAMES)/ 1939 – 1945./ (1 NAME).
