Description
The War Memorial in Burton Latimer is a World War I memorial built around 1920 by John Alfred Gotch. It features a limestone ashlar octagonal free Gothic column with a panelled and inscribed base, raised on three octagonal steps. At the top of the column is a finely-carved figure of St. George, who is depicted carrying a bronze lance. Originally, this memorial was located at the junction of High Street and Church Street.
