Description
The Newton Longville War Memorial is located on Whaddon Road, next to the lych-gate that leads to the churchyard of the Church of St Faith, which is a Grade I-listed building. This memorial, approximately 4 meters high, is made of granite and is designed as a tall, slender obelisk with a square base. A small wreath is carved in relief on the front face of the obelisk. It stands on a tapering pedestal that is supported by a two-stage base.
The front face of the pedestal features the main dedication: "THIS MONUMENT IS ERECTED TO THE IMMORTAL MEMORY OF THOSE FROM THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918," followed by the names of 17 individuals. The dates "1939 – 1945" and the names of two men who died in the Second World War are inscribed on the front face of the upper stage of the base. All lettering on the front faces of the memorial is made of black-painted inset metal letters.
On the left and right sides of the pedestal, the names of those who served in the First World War but returned are listed under the dedication "IN HONOUR OF THOSE WHO SERVED." This lettering is incised and painted black.
