Longdown War Memorial

The Longdown War Memorial is a First World War memorial dating from around 1920, with later additions for the Second World War.

Constructed from granite with inset lead lettering, the memorial features a cross on a tapered shaft with a square section, set upon a stepped base and an octagonal plinth. It is located at a junction in the center of the village, facing east. The cross at the top has an incised central cross pattern, and the tapered shaft has moulded bands at both the top and bottom. The square plinth is inscribed with the words: "THEIR NAME LIVETH / FOR EVERMORE. / 1914 – 1918." The names of the fallen are inscribed on the sides of the base. On the upper step of the octagonal plinth, the date "1939 – 1945" is inscribed, and the step below it bears the inscription: "AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN / AND IN THE MORNING / WE WILL REMEMBER THEM." The names of those who fell in the Second World War are recorded on the sides of the upper step of the plinth.
