Holmer Green War Memorial

Holmer Green War Memorial is located on the north side of The Common, across from the Recreation Ground. It is positioned off the footway outside Christ Church, raised above street level by two low, paved steps.

The memorial features a sandstone obelisk, square in shape, standing approximately 3 meters tall with a shallow pyramidal top. A Latin cross is incised at the top on the front (south) face. The obelisk is mounted on a square, slightly tapered plinth with cyma recta moulding.

All inscriptions are incised. The front face of the plinth displays the main dedicatory inscription: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND TO THE BELOVED MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF HOLMER GREEN/ WHOSE SACRIFICE WAS ACCEPTED/ IN THE WARS OF/ 1914 - 1918/ AND/ 1939 – 1945/ THEY WENT TO WAR IN THE CAUSE OF PEACE/ AND DIED WITHOUT HATE THAT LOVE MIGHT LIVE."

The names of 14 fallen soldiers from the First World War are inscribed on the west face of the plinth, with the dates 1914 - 1918 above. The east face lists 16 names from the Second World War, with the dates 1939 - 1945 above.
