Description
The Weedon War Memorial is located next to Weedon Methodist Church. Constructed from Clipsham stone, it features a Latin cross with carved Gothic details, including fleur-de-lis at the intersection of the cross arms. The moulded foot of the cross rises from a tall octagonal shaft, which is set on a chamfered octagonal plinth. This plinth is elevated on two octagonal steps that rest on a broad octagonal base, which has a shallow cornice for placing floral tributes.
The front face of the plinth displays an inscription that reads: 1914 – 1918/ + TO THE/ GLORY OF/ GOD & IN/ MEMORY OF/ THOSE WHO LAID DOWN THEIR/ LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR. The top step lists the names of 12 men who died in the First World War, with all inscriptions incised and carved in a Celtic style typeface.
Additionally, two small brass plaques mounted on wooden backs are affixed to the plinth. One plaque states: TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ & IN MEMORY OF THOSE/ WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918, followed by a list of those who died in the First World War. The second plaque commemorates the SECOND WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945, also followed by a list of the deceased.
