Description
The Redmarley D'Abitot War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. It is made of Portland stone and is situated on the village green.
The memorial features a fleury wheel-headed cross atop a tapering square shaft, which rises from a small square plinth. This plinth is supported by four square blocks, each set at an angle on the corners. These blocks rest on a two-stepped circular base, with the first step made of Portland stone and the lower step constructed from coursed and dressed blocks of Cheltenham stone, topped with shaped slabs.
The square plinth is inscribed with the words: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF/ THOSE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919/ MAY THEY REST IN PEACE." The four blocks are engraved with the names of the Fallen. The top step bears the inscription "1939 - 1945/ (NAMES)/ CORPORAL W PRIDAY/ FELL IN ACTION DEC 9TH 1939/ THE FIRST BRITISH ARMY/ CASUALTY OF THE WAR."
