Description
The Warmington War Memorial is located in the south-east corner of the churchyard of the Grade I-listed church of St Mary the Virgin in Northamptonshire. This memorial takes the form of a square-sectioned sandstone pillar featuring a traceried Gothic-style panel recessed on each face, each topped with a gabled head.
Three of the panels list the names of the fallen, organized by year, with those who died in the Second World War noted below those who fell in 1918. Below the names for 1917, there is a dedication that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN EVER BLESSED/ REMEMBRANCE OF THE/ MEN OF THIS VILLAGE/ WHO FOUGHT AND FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR."
At the top of the memorial is a ball entwined by a laurel garland, which supports a coronet from which a short cross rises, all made of limestone. The pillar is set on a three-stepped square limestone base, with the inscription "THANKS BE TO GOD, WHICH GIVETH US THE/ VICTORY" on the face of the uppermost step.
The concrete flagged surround and modern steel post and chain fencing are not included in the listing.
