Description
The war memorial located 19.5 metres south west of St Mary's Church in Selborne was erected in 1921. It was designed by the architect William Douglas Caroë and executed by DJ Kemp of Alton. The memorial is made of Doulting stone and features a tall, tapering octagonal shaft with a moulded base and a wheel-head cross with floriated ends. This shaft stands on an octagonal pedestal that also has a moulded base and top, and it is set on a stepped octagonal base. The pedestal is inscribed with the words: 'To the honoured memory of the men of Selborne who gave their lives for their country 1914-1918', and it includes three bronze plaques listing the names of the fallen. Notably, this memorial does not have an additional dedication to those who fell in World War II. The memorial was unveiled by the Earl of Selborne and dedicated by the Reverend AE Norman in March 1921. This memorial holds significant historical and cultural importance, both locally and nationally, and is a fine example of its kind, designed by a prominent architect. It also has group value with several nearby listed buildings.
