Description

The Ugborough War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, later modified to also honor those who served in the Second World War. It is made of pale grey granite and is located next to the Church of St Peter, forming part of the churchyard's boundary wall.

The memorial features a simple Latin cross with a tapering shaft, resting on a small square pedestal that has a two-stepped octagonal base. A plaque with the names of the fallen is integrated into the churchyard wall below the cross.

The main inscription, made of lead, is located on the north face of the plinth and reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN WHO DIED IN THE/ GREAT WAR, 1914 - 1918/ WHOSE NAMES ARE INSCRIBED BENEATH./ -/ THIS MEMORIAL IS ERECTED BY THE/ INHABITANTS OF UGBOROUGH PARISH."

On the lower step of the base, it is inscribed: "ERECTED DEC. 1921." The names of the fallen are listed on the plaque set into the wall beneath, with an additional plaque added later that reads: "1939 - 1945/ (NAMES)."
