Description
The Horrabridge War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1920, made of granite. It is prominently located facing the main road through the village, within a walled enclosure that is part of the churchyard boundary wall of the Church of St John the Baptist, which is also listed as Grade II*.
The memorial features a 1.5-meter high, plain granite wheel-head cross, with the head adorned with raised roundels. This cross is set on a tall trapezoidal plinth, which in turn rests on a two-stepped square base. The entire structure is situated on a paved area, with the front edged by granite kerbstones.
The main inscription is located on the front face of the plinth, crafted in leaded lettering. It reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF/ THE BRAVE MEN WHO FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918/ (16 NAMES)/ 'THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE'."
