Description

The war memorial in Radclive, commemorating those who died in World War I, was erected in 1919 and is possibly designed by F.E. Howard. It is made of stone and features a square plinth with a cill and a smaller square tier beneath. The base is broached, leading to a six-sided shaft that tapers to a decorative collar. At the top, there is a flared and fluted cross adorned with foliate decoration at the ends of the arms, along with a three-dimensional figure of Christ. One face of the plinth is inscribed in gothic lettering: "In thankful remembrance of those from this parish who laid down their lives in the Great War 1914-1919." The memorial is situated in the churchyard of the Radclive parish church, and the names of the fallen are recorded on a wall plaque inside the church.

War Memorial sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 79% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
