Description
The Grendon War Memorial is a First World War memorial, dating from around 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. It features a cross approximately 4.5 meters high, with a floriated wheel head and an elaborately carved square-sectioned shaft made of sandstone. This cross is set on a two-stage square limestone plinth, which rests on a shallow square base. At each corner of the plinth, there is a low square vase.
The plinth bears the inscription: "IN MEMORY OF (names) MEN OF GRENDON, OUR GALLANT DEAD/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919," along with a quote from the Bible on the lower stage: "JESUS SAID, I AM THE/ RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE./ ST JOHN XI.25."
On one side of the plinth, there is an additional inscription: "ALSO/ IN MEMORY OF/ (names) WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1939-1945/ THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD."
