Description

The King's Stanley War Memorial is a First World War memorial, dating from around 1920. It is constructed from local Cotswold limestone.

The memorial features an unusual, wide, cruciform lantern with a trefoil-headed opening on each side. The lantern is designed to house an oil lantern and illuminate all four sides. At the top, it has a small orb and cross finial and stands on a cylindrical Doric column. This column is set on a three-stepped hexagonal base, which is elevated on a platform of two circular steps.

Three faces of the top step of the base have carved lettering in black paint that reads: "OUR / GLORIOUS DEAD / THAT THEIR NAMES / BE NOT FORGOTTEN / 1914 – 1919." Below this inscription, the names of the 25 men who died are carved into inset stone plaques. On the lower step, there is an additional inset plaque that reads: "1939 – 1945 / WE WILL REMEMBER THEM," flanked by the names of the 14 men who lost their lives in the Second World War.
