Description
The Barnwell War Memorial stands in the south-east part of the churchyard of the Church of St Andrew. It was erected in memory of those who died in the First World War, and later extended to include those who died in the Second World War. The memorial consists of a roughly 5-metre-tall limestone wheel-head cross, decorated with a raised central boss, set upon a tapering, square-sectioned shaft. The shaft sits on a tapering square plinth, which in turn is set on a square base with two steps. The front of the plinth is inscribed "IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF BARNWELL WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR ENGLAND IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 + 1918 FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH". The names of those who died in the First World War are recorded on the side faces, and the names of those lost in the Second World War are carved to the rear, below the dates 1939 + 1945.
