Description

The Froxfield War Memorial is a First World War memorial that includes additions for the Second World War. It is located near the entrance to the churchyard of the Church of All Saints, which is also a listed building, and the churchyard contains the Tomkins and Newbery monuments, both of which are listed as well.

The memorial is made of granite and features a tall, wheel-head cross that rises from a tapering rectangular plinth, which is set on a two-stepped rectangular base. The names and inscriptions are crafted in leaded lettering.

On the east face of the cross shaft, near the base, is the inscription "TO OUR GLORIOUS DEAD." The names of those who died in the First World War are listed on the east and west faces of the plinth, with seven names on each face, including their rank and regiment, along with the dates 1914 – 1918 underneath. The south face of the plinth bears the inscription "IN THANKFULNESS FOR THE SAFE RETURN OF ALL SURVIVORS 'LAUS DEO!'" The north face of the plinth features the Second World War dedication, presented in a similar format to the First World War names, with five names and the dates 1939 – 1945, followed by one additional name.
