Description
The Lurgashall War Memorial is a Grade II listed structure made of rough-hewn granite, located in the churchyard between the churchyard gate and the west end of the Parish Church of St Laurence, which is a Grade II* building. It is situated near a group of other listed buildings around Lurgashall Green.
The memorial features a 3-meter tall wheel-head cross adorned with knotwork ornamentation around a central boss. The center of the cross displays a carved gridiron, the symbol of St Laurence. It stands on a tapered shaft that rises from a 1-meter high plinth with sloping sides. The plinth has dressed panels on its faces, with inscriptions in raised lead lettering.
The inscription on the front face reads: "HERE WRITTEN ARE THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO WENT FROM LURGASHALL TO THE GREAT WAR AND WERE FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH REMEMBER THEM WE PRAY YOU BEFORE GOD AND MAN WITH HONOUR AND THANKSGIVING 1914 – 1919. & 1939 – 1945." The names of 30 fallen soldiers are inscribed on the side faces.
Additionally, a panel has been created on the back of the memorial, which includes three names from the Second World War.
