Description
The Great Cransley War Memorial is located within a small enclosure, which is bordered at the back by a low stone wall and at the front by chains held up by two stone piers. The memorial features a 2.5-meter high limestone Latin cross, which has a small wreath carved on the front of the cross head. The cross shaft is supported by a small pyramidal structure that sits on a square plinth, which in turn rests on a two-stage stepped octagonal base.
On the front of the plinth, there is raised lettering that reads "IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO DIED FOR THEIR COUNTRY 1914 1918." The other three sides of the plinth display the names of those who lost their lives. Additionally, there is an inscription in a similar style on the pyramid at the top of the plinth that states "AND ALSO (NAME) 1939 – 1945 WAR."
