Description
The Rushton, Pipewell and Glendon War Memorial is made of limestone and is located in the corner of the village cricket club car park on Station Road, next to a gate leading into the north-east corner of the churchyard. The churchyard wall, which is not included in the listing, bounds the memorial enclosure on one side and features a tablet commemorating the Second World War.
The memorial stands approximately 3.5 meters high and consists of a Latin cross atop a squat octagonal shaft, which has a raised garland at its top, just below the cross head. The shaft is supported by a square plinth that sits on an octagonal base.
The plinth features an inscription in raised capital letters that reads: "IN MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF RUSHTON/ PIPEWELL & GLENDON/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 . 1919/ (NAMES)/ ALSO OF THOSE MEN WHO SERVED." The names of those who served are inscribed on the other three sides of the plinth.
Additionally, there is a tablet set into the churchyard wall next to the memorial, which bears an inscription in the same style: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND/ IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF/ RUSHTON PIPEWELL & GLENDON/ WHO FELL IN THE 1939-45 WAR/ (NAMES)/ R.I.P."
